Mets Minors April Review

While I wouldn’t call it a disaster, the Mets’ Triple A affiliate, the Buffalo Bisons, are off to a rough start. They’ve 10-14 which puts them in fourth place in their division and they’re four and a half games back of the first place Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees. Kirk Nieuwenhuis was one of the hitting stars with a .974 OPS. He has four home runs to lead the team but only six RBIs. After that, things kind of thin out although Ruben Tejada leads the team with 14 RBIs despite a mediocre .751 OPS. Jennry Mejia has been the most effective hurler and he’s 2-1 with a 2.86 ERA and 21 strikeouts in 28 1/3 innings.

The B-Mets are off to an equally ineffective start. They’re in dead last in their division with a 7-13 record. That puts them 7 1/2 games back of first place Reading. Joshua Satin has been the top guy at the plate. He’s hitting .324 with a .921 OPS. He’s struck out a lot (23 times) but he has some walks (15) to go with it. Mark Cohoon as the been the top pitcher. Despite a 1-2 record, he has 25 strikeouts and a 2.70 ERA in thirty innings.

St. Lucie is getting it done at least. They sit atop their division with a 19-6 record and they already have a six game lead. Matt Den Decker has been the man there. He has a .996 OPS and he leads the team with 24 runs and thirteen doubles. Matthew Harvey has been lights out on the mound. He has 30 strikeouts, a 4-1 record and a 1.37 ERA in 26 1/3 innings.

St. Lucie is the lone outlier because the Savannah Sand Gnats are just 9-14. Cory Vaughn is the top hitter with an .854 OPS and Gregory Peavy has 24 strikeouts in 24 innings on the mound.
