Down-on-the-farm-Feat_Image

This weekend on the farm, Easter and rain took its toll on the system as only four games were played throughout the system, but in them Jenrry Mejia proved human, Jeurys Familia stayed hot, and St. Lucie was the only affiliate to post a “W”. Saturday April 23 Lehigh Valley 7, Buffalo 5 Pat Misch, …

Last night on the farm, Matt Harvey remained in beast-mode as the affiliates split their four games. Buffalo 4, Lehigh Valley 2 The Bisons put together a nice win Friday night on the strength of five innings of one-run ball from Josh Stinson and a couple key hits from Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Nick Evans and Lucas …

Last night on the farm, only Binghamton presented a full sweep by the affiliates and Nick Evans politely reminded everyone that he is still alive. Rochester 2, Buffalo 4 Game 1 Casey Fossum had a nice outing in the 40 degree upstate weather, going 6.1 innings and allowing just a single un-earned run, but the …

TRDM Top Prospect Countdown Number 1: Jenrry Mejia

Jenrry Mejia

Perhaps the hardest decision for this countdown was not our decision who to place on top, but rather who would qualify. Once we agreed our chart-topper still counts as a prospect (it wasn’t a very hard decision, he’ll hopefully spend most of the year at AAA), there was little debate as to who should come …

In the glorious afterglow of Willie Harris’ clutch game-tying home run, let’s all take a minute and enjoy the fact that BASEBALL IS BACK! Now, back to the countdown. For the number 3 prospect in our countdown, right-handed pitcher Matt Harvey,  the Major League arrival is not a question of if but rather when. A …

TRDM Top Prospect Countdown Number 5: Reese Havens

Reese Havens

As we have gone through our top prospects list, it has been fairly easy to separate the prospects into two distinct categories: players with a high degree of polish to their games (think Vaughn or Nieuwenhuis), and players with tremendous raw ability that have yet to really put it all together (Rodriguez, Familia). Every system …

Welcome back to our prospect countdown! If you like your minor-leaguers served nearly-raw, you’ve come to the right place, as today we’re looking at 19-year-old 3B prospect Aderlin Rodriguez, whose value is entirely predicated on his potential. Signed in 2008 out of the Dominican Republic, the teenager has the build and the instincts to produce …

Cory Vaughn in Brooklyn

Previously, Bryan brought you number 10 on our prospect list, Jeurys Familia. As promised, we will continue to bring you a prospect a day for the next 10 days until we reach numero uno. On to number 9: 21-year-old outfielder Cory Vaughn. The first thing going for Vaughn is his pedigree, obviously. He is the …

Organizational Lefties: An Offseason Review

Categories:

Mike O'Connor

With the news that Pedro Feliciano has declined arbitration comes the slow realization that our dearly beloved rubber-armed lefty is likely headed for a big payday elsewhere, never to return. Feliciano stands out as one of the successes of the Minaya era, being plucked from Japan to fill a bullpen void (it’s worth noting, however, …

A closer is as good as his music. Sure, I try and maintain an objective approach; I know that saves are up there with wins and runs scored as the wardens of a system of statistical analysis that borders on farcical, but I still give the closer’s role a great deal of weight. There’s a …
