  1. What other adoptee already has a song written about him? * Bisons rooters sing this song We love Duuu-daaa He hits home runs nine miles long Every Duda day Later * = I wrote it about five minutes ago.
  2. The kid is already a college grad, so that will save dad a bunch of money. The lefty hitting LF/ 1B prospect was recently promoted to AAA, where he was the IL player of the week. A no-brainer, since he hit homers in 5 consecutive games. He has 7 HR in 19 IL games since his call-up, with 20 RBI. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?pos=&sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=446263 Welcome to the family, kid. Later

I like Ratliff a lot, and was thisclose to adopting him myself. Two things from that video: 1) Satin pronounces his name just like the fabric. 2) I laughed when the announcer said "If that's fair, its gone". It went over the right centerfield wall. Later
  4. Flintstones? Later

  6. OK, why? Later
  7. Wilmer will be among six Savannah players who will be promoted to St. Lucie after the SAL All-Star game. http://www.thepaper24-7.com/main.asp?SectionID=24&SubSectionID=23&ArticleID=26545 Later

  9. He injured his shoulder, and will be out for "a few weeks". Don't know how it happened or the specific nature of the injury. Later
  10. Do you give it an A? Later
  11. A recent scouting report. http://scoutingthesally.com/2010/06/scouting-report-v2-0-wilmer-flores-ss-new-york-mets/ Later
  12. Beat ya' to it. Later
  13. Two more home runs last night, and a shout out: From # 8 on BAs hot sheet. No. 8 REESE HAVENS, 2B METS Team: Double-A Binghamton (Eastern) Age: 23 Why He's Here: .360/.560/.840 (9-for-25), 3 HR, 1 2B, 1 3B, 6 RBIs, 6 R, 5 BB, 6 SO The Scoop: As discouraging as it was to see Havens miss yet more time with injury this season�in this case a strained oblique�he's proven to be worth the wait. He homered twice off Orioles righthander Chorye Spoone and once off Indians reliever Bryan Price this week, while continuing to show a discerning batting eye. That's not an anomaly. Power and patience have been Havens' strong suits�he has walked in 12 percent of his minor league plate appearances while boasting a .199 isolated power. For a middle infielder in the New York-Penn, Florida State and Eastern leagues, that's pretty darn good. Taken four picks after Ike Davis in the 2008 draft, Havens just might join Ike on the right side of the Mets infield later this season. Later
  14. How do you know you're having a bad year? When you give up 3 ER in 4 IP and LOWER your ERA. (Like he did last night) Later
  15. Last night, he went 3-4 with 3R, 3 RBI and 2 HR. He's now hitting .351. Later
  16. Lutz put on the DL with a fractured foot. The one bit of good news, if there is any, is that the injuries in Brooklyn during 2007 and 2008 were in the RIGHT foot. This is the left foot. Is that better or worse? I guess it's not a winning combination no matter how you slice it. Later
  17. Reese Havens was just brought up to Binghamton as will be available starting tonight. I gather from that he is performing well at second base. Later
  18. Edgy, I asked the Inside Pitch guy about Matz after I saw your post. Here's his reply: Funny you should ask. I spoke with Hector Berrios while I was down there. Matz had his first EXST session on Friday. Berrios (who's the GCL pitching coach this year) said he's looking good. He didn't put him on the gun or anything yet, but he is in EXST working with the GCL club at the moment. Later

  20. Reese is off the DL and is playing at St. Lucie in order to get his swing back and to enroll in Second Base 101. Here are some notes from Inside Pitch (subscription): Reese is now hitting .313 and his timing and rhythm look very good. He got two hits, including a home run, off two lefty pitchers last night. Defensively, transition to second base looks promising, showing range to both sides and quickness to the bag. His release isn�t the quickest, but he gets the ball out.� Later
  21. From Mets Inside Pitch: Wilmer Flores went off this week when he knocked in 13 runs in the span of four nights. He finished the week with a 9 game hit streak and a double in four consecutive games. Flores is now tied with two others for second place in the Sally League with 16 RBI. Eleven of his hits have gone for extra bases (two HR, 9 doubles). Later
  22. He received an intentional BB with runners on 1st and 3rd. He had already driven in 13 runs in the 1st 3 games of this series. Later
  23. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr wrote: Only thing is, we're a bit occupied at third. If the bat stays crackling, do you try him out at second? He's a stocky 220+ pounds, my baby boy is. I'm guessing either corner infield or LF for him. Later
  24. Captain Kirk launches his first photon torpedo leading off the game today for Bingmanton. Reports I've read said he has pretty good power. If he's leading off, that Bingy team must be loaded. Later
  25. Wifey and I both liked it. She thought it was the best movie she saw all year. The (Oscar nominated) production design was excellent. It made us feel like were were in the London of that era. The script was witty as well as well written, and the two leads (as well as the final disclosure) set us up for (a) sequel(s) I wouldn't want to miss. I would have liked to have been able to have voted it a top score of "7" as in percent solution. Later
