Wilmer and Nimmo went 5-9 total with two homers (one each) and a double for St. Lucie yesterday. Wilmer played first and Nimmo DH'd.

I wonder if it's more a result of the extra bulk he put on this off-season. And if it possibly was, that points an arrow that much more incriminatingly at Mike Barwis.

Loyalty shmoyalty.

The entire Mets minor league system won today, except the well clobbered Mets, of course. But down in Hickory, the Fireflies smoked the Crawdads, upping Jordan Humphreys' record to 5-0. Adopt this young man!

As bad as the Mets have had it with starting pitching, Lucie has had it worse, with five starters currently DL-ing, and two more that have served time on the list.

Certainly less depth than the Mets' starting pitching anyhow. This score reminds me of this game, which was strange in that the Mets hadn't been hitting consistently, and folks looked at the seven runs as a positive sign, and wrote off the 26 they gave up. It was looked at as rock bottom, but they won the next day before losing the next four, so the turnaround wasn't as instant as all that. It was last game with the team for Joe Sambito, who may have been there on the Everybody from Brooklyn Gets a Chance plan.

I'm not sure who you thought the team was going to get on a minor league deal that could have displaced the starting pitching depth they came to camp with. It's not about displacing starting depth, it's supplementing it by have pitchers at AAA who are ready to step in as necessary. It might mean Doug Fister, it might mean making a trade but if you look at the 51s roster, there don't appear to be good alternatives to Gilmartin and Montero. Either the Mets passed on Doug Fister, same as 29 other teams, or more likely, Fister wasn't interested in a minor league contract. I don't know what a good option is. Which teams outclass the Mets in having better #9 and #10 pitchers than they do? Wilfredo Boscan has a 2.50 ERA through four starts in the PCL. And Montero has a 1.87 ERA through two. I imagine if the Mets thought Doug Fister could be had on a minor league deal and give more bang for the buck than Boscan, Doug Fister would be in Vegas. But I don't think for a minute that anybody refused to sign players. They had more pitching depth than their big league roster could contain, and had to sell off Verrett and Ynoa before the season started. The rules are written to keep teams from stockpiling too much big-league ready talent. And so injuries hurt all the more. It's just the way it is.

God bless the second inning.

Holy crap, three more ribbies!

Rendon hasn't earned Terry's respect over the last two innings.

Rendon bloodying the Mets.

We've got a one-run game.
