Here's some highlights of last nights minor league action courtesy of Toby's Minor League Report

AAA

  • Royce Ring blew his second save of the season.
  • Chris Basak,
    who took over for Keppinger was 2-2, with a solo HR.

AA

  • Carlos Gomez doubled twice and has now
    hit safely in 12 straight games to improve his season line to
    .261/.325/.390.  Over his streak he’s
    raised his batting average from .225 to .261 and has doubled six times.
  • Michel
    Abreu
    was 3-3 with a double and a pair of walks

A+

  • Philip Humber, as we reported yesterday by way of Metsblog, dealt five shutout innings while allowing four hits
    and striking out nine without issuing a walk.

    Kevin Goldstein from Baseball America had this to say about Humber before the start…

    Righthander Philip
    Humber
    has returned from Tommy John surgery and earned some rave
    reviews. “He has two big power pitches with the fastball, which is 90-94
    mph, and that curve which is just a hammer and a real out pitch,” said one
    National League scout about the third overall pick in the 2004 draft. “He
    also has a power changeup–and I love those–it's not a touch/feel pitch; its
    velocity is in the 80s so it gets there with some speed and just bottoms
    out.” Having just returned after missing nearly a year, Humber
    still struggles with his location, but the scout didn't see it as a long-term
    concern. “It's really going to depend on command and control with
    him,” the scout added. “It has to improve, but that's always an issue
    for guys coming back from TJs–there's no reason it shouldn’t improve.”

  • Jesus Flores led St. Lucie’s offense
    with a 2-3 that included a solo HR in the first inning.

Metsblog reports that Baseball America's Matt Meyers profiles Mets LHP Jon Neise

Neise 9-6 with 3.51 ERA sporting 106 strikeouts and 50 walks in 97 innings for Class-A Hagerstown…

Meyers also mentions OF Fernando Martinez, RHP Deolis Guerra and RHP Philip Humber

Who Is Hot Foot?

Hot Foot was founded by a group of life long friends who also happen to be die hard Mets fans. Hot Foot comes from the great 1986 Mets relief pitcher Roger McDowell who would use a wad of gum to stick a roll of cigarettes to the back of unsuspecting teammates shoes and light them on fire, thus a Hot Foot. Hot Foot is inspired by the same rock and roll baseball mentality of Roger and the 86 Mets, and uncensored commentary with news, notes, rumors and analysis revolving around the world of the Amazin New York Mets.
