Its not like I'm scooping up all the top prospects. Just players I thought it would be interesting to follow. (The last two because of their names) Many of them aren't on anyone's top 25 lists. And some that are, I adopted them before they were on any lists. (IIRC, I adopted one or two before they ever played a professional inning) Later

No. But several of my older adoptees have either left the organization or made it to the majors, so I had to kick them out of the house. Don't worry. Brad and Angelina's number is still safe. Later

After watching Olympic ice skating, how could anyone not adopt someone named Lutz? He's an infielder with some pop in his bat. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=lutz--001zac Later

Edioglis Villasmil - 17-year-old right-hander. He pitched mostly in the VSL last year. 4.27 ERA in 59 IP. Made four appearances in the DSL. Why am I adopting him? Because every family needs someone named Edioglis. Welcome to the family, kid. Later

To date, an arm injury was a significant factor in Rustich's moving forward or lack of movement. From what I've read on "Inside Pitch" (subscription site), his arm is improving. Positive signs are coming out of his early test results. Rustich is not currently on track for spring training and the organization is going to be very cautious with . He's NOT going to be ready to throw off a mound when camp starts. He hasn't started a throwing program yet, but will start soon. When he does return to game action and joins a team, expect it to be St. Lucie but it won't be because they feel he can't handle a higher level. Rustich is still a very valuable guy for the Org., but they want to keep him close to the complex, pitch in warm weather, and make sure everything is right before they get aggressive with him. When he's healthy, he'll move very fast. Good luck with your kid, LWFS. Later

Edgy DC wrote: Of course he does. I think, when the rage dies down, we'll probably see that part of the thinking in going big in left, but not catcher, first, second, or right, is that the team is excited by the prospects that the have coming along at those positions, and they're looking to change on the fly over the next two years. Not a bad plan. There have been a lot of minor league mavens (e.g.- BP, Baseball America, etc.) who are beginning to rate the Mets prospects highly lately. Some are projecting debut years for them. I could see those positions you mentioned being manned by: C - Thole 1B - Davis 2B - Tejada/ Reese Havens RF - Capt. Kirk* or Fernando Martinez by as early as 2011. In the baseball forum, there is a thread about how the winning Yankee teams were based on a home grown "core". This is the first time in a long time that I feel optimistic about the Mets being in a position to do the same thing. Later * = I call him "The Dutch Treat" but, unlike the NFL, will not copywrite it.

Thanks. I read a report on him a while ago that said if the Mets were to get another first baseman, Ike had the arm to play right field. Didn't realize it was that good. Later

Engrossing. That should be kept as a permanent link. I have a feeling it can be re-used in every future discussion of scouts' observations VS stats. Good find. Later

There are many kids up for adoption. http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/mets/2009/10/instructional-league-rosters.html#ixzz0VExw90e5 Later

Jon came in at #16 in the BA list of International League prospects. He was the only Buffalo player to make the list. Later

And he did. Kid looks like a keeper. Later

Edgy DC wrote: Interesting to see Duda over Neiuwenheis. Also interesting to see eight prospects instead of the usual six. I wonder if some teams pulled out. There are 6 AFL teams -- each of which has 30 players. So, each MLB team gets about 6 players each. As I understand the rules, players must be on the AA roster on June 30th. Each team has an exception. Forget where I read it but, that due to the collapse of Hawaii Winter League, teams might have 2 exemptions. I haven't seen that formally confirmed. Maybe the fact that the Mets will have eight is confirmation of a sorts. So, if they've already used two of them to get up to eight players, then Nieuwenhuis would need an exemption that the Mets don't have. Later

Ike went 3-5 with a homer and a triple as the US beat Germany in World Cup competition. The score was 9-1. Later
-
At this rate of improvement, he seems a good candidate for the HOF. Later
-
Nice debut, kid. Keep it up. Later
-
He finished the night with 4-5, including 2 doubles and the dinger. Later

Hit his first AA dinger tonight. You go, kid. Later

I was going to post his year's stats, but got that weird message mentioned in the Admin forum. I'll try again when its fixed. Later

Some more details: Report on Mejia's start from Metsminorleagueblog. This is the exciting part of the night, except that a severely pitch-count limited Jenrry Mejia was held to three innings in his first start in just over seven weeks. Mejia walked the first two men he faced and gave up three runs on two hits in the top of the first, but settled in from there and retired the Senators in order in the second and third innings while hitting 96 on the NYSEG Stadium radar gun. Mejia�s pitches and strikes by inning per Brian Moritz at his twitter page (@psbmortiz): Inning - Pitches - Strikes - Strike % 1 - 31 - 15 - 48% 2 - 10 - 8 - 80% 3 - 10 - 7 - 70% Total - 51 - 30 - 58% Later

The 20 year old third baseman, now at Kngsport, was a 4th round draft pick in 2007. He was injured much of last year. Welcome, kid. Later
