GCL Mets Thoughts




Right now, especially at this level, it really doesn't matter whether this team wins of loses. The important thing in these first few weeks is to get everybody on the roster as much work as they can and determine exactly who the players are and aren't.

Today, basically two players piggybacked most of the positons. In total, 17 players got in the game, sort of like they do in ST.

Some initial highlights from an early season:

Yohan Almonte - SP - Almonte came out of the DSL Mets team, where he went 3-3, 2.95 in 14 games, 9 starts, last year. So far this season he's been close to perfect: 2-G, 3.2-IP, 0.00.

Nelfi Zapata - C - It looks like this kid was a good pick in the draft. God knows how much the Mets could use another catcher prospect. Early stats: .538/.563/.615/1.178 in 13 at bats... keep it up, kid.

Juan Torrez - C - another catcher hitting the snot off the ball? ell, it is early , but worth pointing out: .417/.462/.500/.962 in 12 at bats - The 21-year old signed with the Mets in 2005.

Jhonathan Torrez - SP - One of the kids I touted last year, Torres is 0.00 stateside so far this season, throwing 5.0 innings.


Scott Moviel - SP - Moviel is somewhere between rehabbing or starting over. Either way, he's holding down a 1.00 ERA after two starts, and 9.0 innings thrown.
