Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Three-and-a-half weeks in the cast down, one-and-a-half to go.In the meantime, "Yakety Sax"-worthy "rehab" hijinx.

Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 A nice last-ten-games (11-for-30, with a .367/.406/.467 line) has him up to a respectable-for-anywhere-else .265/.333/.441, with 10 XBH and 11 BB over 102 desert ABs.
Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 The pit boss has to be starting to pay attention by now; MDD's ultrahot weekend (8-for-15 with two BB, 3 XBH, 5 R, 5 RBI) has him at .292/.355/.475 for his Vegas tenure (120 PAs).
Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Up to .297/.365/.506, 31 R, 6 HR, 36 RBI, 17 XBH over 175 plate appearances, with a BB% peeking over 10 percent (!).I hope his room's being comped... and that he's got one waiting for him at the Holiday Inn LaGuardia this month.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Is it crazy that I should dream of a Dykstra/Wilson thingie? With Lagares and DD sharing center and then one of them sliding over to a corner for super-duper late-inning defense?
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 MdD gets an honorable mention in this week's Ba 'Hot Sheet'Matt den Dekker, cf, Mets. A wrist injury sidelined the 26-year-old den Dekker for first three months of Triple-A Las Vegas� season, but he�s enjoyed the thin mountain air this August, going 12-for-27 (.444) with a pair of homers and a triple this week to push his OPS to .970 for the month. The Mets face a 40-man roster decision on the 2010 fifth-rounder this offseason, so den Dekker may receive a September callup if he remains healthy and productive.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 They usually get younger players, but he's maybe a good candidate for the AFL, so he can get something closer to a full season in.
Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Gonna fly now. (Along with Robert Carson and Recker... in anticipation of an imminent catcher/outfielder trade?)
Guest themetfairy Guests Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Matt is in Major League camp -[fimg=450:31wylz4u]http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3786/13023479823_d94ab3ba75_b.jpg[/fimg:31wylz4u]
Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 He looks so much swarthier this spring.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 This guy is positively raking right now. If Nieuwenhuis isn't back soon, dD sure will be.
Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 He's walking more, too (10.0% BB-rate) and striking out a lot less (17.3%, a career low so far, and continuing a downward trend over the last three seasons). If the "new" approach-- it could be that his pop is leading to more intentional (and pitch-around-type) BBs-- sticks, and the medium-pop does, too, well, he'll be useful. Heck, if he can even provide replacement-level bat-man-ing, he'll be a Sam Fuld-plus kinda value.His call-up is apparently a matter of hot debate within the organization.
