Mon 6/29

Buffalo's bullpen absolutely imploded, giving up all the runs in a 12-7 loss to Charlotte. Tobi Stoner went six scoreless before the debacle ensued. It's hard to imagine that a game like this doesn't even produce a blown save...

Binghamton was able to capitalize just enough on good pitching to beat Akron in 10, 1-0. Dylan Owen produced his best AA start of the season, going the first 7.2 innings, allowing just four hits and striking out seven. Josh Thole's RBI single made a winner out of Roy Merritt...

Box

St. Lucie found a little offense in a 5-2 over win over Dunedin. Reese Havens went 2 for 5 with a double, while Brooklyn native Carlos Guzman tied whoever else for the organization lead with his ninth homer...

Box

Brooklyn continues to mash and win, defeating Hudson Valley 9-1. Eleventh round pick Sam Honeck went 3 for 5 with an RBI, 17th Rounder Alex Gregory added a 2 for 5 with a double and RBI, and Brandon Moore (14th Round, 2008) picked up his second win with seven innings of one run ball...

Kingsport lost to Danville, 5-2. Mike DiFelice's club has been terrible in the early going, and will probably be relegated to score-lines very soon...

Is Josh Thole REALLY this good or is this another Met prospect smoke and mirrors guy?

How is his defense? Do the pitchers like him?

Defense is a work in progress from what I've read. Wasn't really paying attention to his defense when I went. I've seen him hit a few times. Beautiful, short swing. Definitely a gap hitter that might develop some power. A poor man's Joe Mauer? Maybe, I'm not a scout, but I like the kid's swing.

Someone from Binghamton who I've been super unimpressed with? The great Shawn Bowman. His numbers might be decent, but isn't he like 25 in AA? And the two games I've seen him play I think he's struck out half the time.

Nevermind.

Thole suffered a dislocated thumb. Knowing Met doctors they'll amputate the hand. The wrong hand.

Seriously - any word on his return?

MetfanBren · 07-01-2009, 10:02 PM

Thole's on the DL for at least seven days. I'm wondering why Mejia hasn't gone since last Tuesday? Hopefully they're just his managing his innings, since he's already passed his 2008 total...
