Interesting to see Jason Jacobs behind the plate. Both he and Yasmil Bucce are struggling at this point, and in my opinion, Edgar Alfonzo probably just optioned for Bucce at DH because he needs some rest, but the former GCL all-star looks behind on pitches often, while Jacobs, who put up stellar OBP. numbers at [...]

At Mets Prospect Hub, David shared his thoughts on a visit to Binghamton, N.Y.
On Martinez:
Fernando is fast. Now sure how fast exactly, (we’ve become use to comparisions with Jose Reyes) but one of his hits was an infield base knock that he simply out legged… on a slow roller to second. [...]

In his last outing, Matt Durkin through very well, allowing limited walks while striking out seven. He’s told reporters that his fastball velocity is back, but right now it’s hitting around 93 mph, and I believe he was more around 94-95 when he was drafted.

A little more demotions than promotions, but it’s only fair that I touch on them all.
Mike Nickeas Demoted to St. Lucie: Let’s just say I was expecting a little more shuffling than this, but the Mets contradicted my idea and followed kiss. (Keep it simple, stupid) As I mentioned in Part I, Nickeas was a [...]
