Farm Report : Fernando Martinez's High Ceiling

Always Amazin' brings us the report from Baseball Prospectus's Kevin Goldstein that says Mets minor league prospect Fernando Martinez is 'among the highest ceiling-players in the game':

As crazy as people are for Yankees outfielder Jose Tabata, and
deservedly so, Fernando Martinez deserves just as much acclaim.
Actually two months younger than Tabata, Martinez has outhit the
Yankees' top hitting prospect with a .333/.391/.481 line. Tabata has a
better approach and much more power projection, but Martinez is a
center fielder, while Tabata is destined for a corner. They're both
among the highest-ceiling players in the game.

Farm Report : Mets Blog - Humber Promoted

Friend of the Foot, Matt Cerrone on Mets Blog is reporting that Philip Humber will be promoted to Double-A Binghamton today.

It was nice to see this kid pitch again, let alone show such development so soon after Tommy John surgery. Congratulations kid, seize the opportunity.

Farm Report : Humber In Baseball Prospectus Ten Pack

Phil Humber, Mets 2004 #1 draft pick, is featured in Baseball Prospectus' Ten Pack

RHP Philip Humber, High-A St. Lucie (Mets)

Now, if you're looking for a Florida State League comeback that's real,
here you go. Humber has been receiving rave reviews of late, and he
looks to be all the way back from Tommy John surgery, showing the same
stuff that made him the third overall pick in 2004. On Saturday, the
former Rice star struck out seven over five shutout innings, and in his
last four starts, he's giving up just one earned run in 23 innings with
twice as many strikeouts (22) as hits allowed (11). The Mets have no
need to rush Humber; he'll likely finish the year with a handful of
starts at Double-A Binghamton, where he was pitching last year when the
elbow finally snapped. While mid-2007 as a date for a big league debut
seemed far too optimistic a month ago, it sounds about right now.

Tagg Bozied’s pinch hit, two-out,
two-run HR in the bottom of the ninth capped a three run inning.  While celebrating his last walkoff HR, a

Hernandez
had two hits in a 2-4 day.

Victor Diaz was 1-3 with a walk
that started the Tides rally in the bottom of the ninth.

says the Virginian-Pilot.

Perez
blanked Harrisburg
on four hits over six innings.

two innings in a non-save situation.

Corey Ragsdale

injury has left him with little chance of a callup to the Mets before
September.

innings with five strikeouts to earn his third win in Norfolk.

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

    hasn’t drawn a single walk all month

A+

  • Mike Carp raised his season line to
    .277/.382/.406 with a 3-5 night that included a double.
  • Corey Coles was 4-5 with a double while

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.
