Daily Mets Minors Report – 7-7-12


 
 Date: 7-7-12

MLB - Mets:

Frank Francisco (DL, left oblique) will throw off a mound Saturday, then make at least four rehab appearances before returning to the Mets. Jason Bay will report to Port St. Lucie Friday, Collins said. – AR



AAA – Buffalo:

Jeurys Familia  takes the mound tonight for his 18th start of the season. The righty is coming off a loss against Durham on July 1. On the road, Familia is 4-2 with a 3.89ERA and 37 strikeouts in 37.0 innings of work. He struck out a season-high eight batters the last time he faced Syracuse. On April 22, Familia allowed just one run in five innings in a 6-1 Bisons win.

Tonight -

Familia seems to like pissing off Mets fans as well as writers. Every time we write this guy off as a starter, he throws a gem like last night: 6.1-IP, 5-H, 1-R, 5-K, 1-BB, 96-61. Everything worked well, including his curve. Go figure.

How would you like to have to face someone like Familia for six innings and then have Jenrry Mejia to deal with? 2.0-IP, 0-R, 0-H.

And then… Chris Schwinden. Weird fucking game sometimes.

SS Josh Rodriguez keeps trying to prove to people he’s the real deal: 2-4, 4th HR, 3-RBI, .339.

CF Matt den Dekker - .190.



AA-Binghamton:  

LHP Mark Cohoon (3-7, 4.11) makes his 13th start as a B-Met and his 15th overall this season. The lefty recently returned from a two-start stint with the Buffalo Bisons (AAA). In two games, both against the Durham Bulls, Cohoon was tagged for 13 runs on 16 hits over eight innings. He went 0-1, struck out four, walked three and allowed an opponents’ batting average of .400 in his time in the International League. Cohoon is searching for his first win overall since May 27 when he allowed one run over seven innings against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats.

LHP Mike Kickham (6-6, 2.81) makes his 17th start of the season. He comes off a win against the Akron Aeros on July 1. The Missouri native struck out seven over six shutout innings. It was the fourth time this season he has gone six innings or longer without allowing a run. In five starts in June, Kickham went 2-1 with a 1.84 ERA. He struck out 28 but also walked 16 in 29.1 innings, allowing a .190 opponents’ batting average. Selected in the 6th round of the 2010 draft out of Missouri State University, Kickham is in his first season at Double-A. He pitched last season with the Augusta GreenJackets (Low-A) and skipped over High-A.

Tonight

Cohoon had a great outing (7.0-IP, 1-R, 5-H,, 3-K, 1-BB), but he’s pitching a level lower that he’s supposed to be dominating. So far this season Mark has a combined 5.15 ERA in AAA/AA/ That’s not dominating anything.

Inch by inch… 2B Reese Havens: 1-2, .221… last 10 games: .278

Top pop prospect, 3B Wilmer Flores, hit his 2nd AA HR (.390).



A+ - St. Lucie: -            

Tonight

I really liked RP Taylor Whitenton’s outing Friday night (2.2-IP, 0-H, 4-K, 1-BB). Doesn’t get much better than that.



A – Savannah: -

ZeErika McQueen retired.

Jeremy Gould was reinstated from the Savannah DL.

Tonight

Possibly the best minor league game of the year.

Michael Fulmer (7.0-IP, 2-H) and Matt Bashore (6.0-IP, 2-H) threw goose eggs all night. They were joined by three more pitches that threw 5.0 more scoreless innings.

3B Aderlin Rodriguez ended all this 0-0 nonsense with a lead-off, walk-off  HR (15th).

This might be Fulmer’s last Savannah start. I will be sitting next to him today behind home plate for the first game of the doubleheader.



A-Low – Brooklyn:

Tonight

Another tied game after nine, but this one was 6-6. SP Gabriel Ynoa (6.0-IP, 6-ER, 8-H, 3.75) got knocked around pretty good.

We should keep an eye of RP David Wynn… 2.0-IP, 0-H tonight, 0.96 after five professional game.

Same goes for John Mincone (2.0-IP, 0-H, 0.82) after five games also.

Two hits for Brandon Nimmo tonight… hitting over .200 (.203)… woo…



Rookie – Kingsport:

Doubleheader tonight -

Game 1:

            6-2 loss… SP John Gant gave up five earned runs in 4.1… that’s two bad starts in three professional games… CF Eris Peguero continues to hit with dos singles (.355)… C Jeyckol De Leon’s 4th error of the young season.

Game 2:

            5-4 loss… P Andrew Massie’s first professional game: 2.0-I, 1-H, 0-R, 2-K, 2-BB, 0.00… three more hits from Peguero (.379)…

Team overall record -   4-14

           

DSL Mets:

CF John Mora – 2-5, 1-R, 2-doubles, 3-RBI, .300

LF Vincente Lupo – 5th home run, .366
