Clifford -- a 2022 11th-round pick -- slashed .216/.412/.304 with 32 walks in 31 games for the Cyclones.
Why would those numbers get you a promotion?
Who knows, it's the Mets. Sometimes guys move faster or slower because of position gluts above or below them.
Numbers rarely tell the whole story with prospects.

Crazy that we are 10 games below .500 yet only 6.5 games back.
Alex Bregman has never posted an OPS below .800 (currently .534), or and OPS+ below 110 (currently 57). Will he be able to salvage his season numbers?

It's actually why I'm not really in write them off mode. Take the Yankee series out, for the sake of the argument, and it appears this team is turning the corner. SP got a boost with Javier (despite his bad start the other day, I think he will be fine), the back end of the BP appears to be turning it around, and really the offense other than Yordan seems to be clicking a bit better.
I really think once Yordan gets it going, this team is going to play pretty well. He may even be turning it around too. Last 7 days .292 BA and OPS is .846

Hopefully Urquidy is close - I think he'll be boost to the SP as well.
Agree - the fact that neither the Rangers nor Seattle took advantage of our awful start to this season leaves the door cracked open for what would be truly hilarious and enjoyable.
We are about a 20-for-30 type run away from getting ourselves right back into the post season picture and that could happen before July
By the way, 19 of our next 29 games come against teams well below .500

Yes we can definitely make some headway. When I looked into some of those teams that started off poorly but still made the playoffs, they never got further than 10.5 games back. That seems to be the cutoff where it's too much to overcome.
The only negative I would say is Seattle can use their loaded farm to make moves we might not be able to make. Their offense sucks so it's pretty clear what they need to do.

Yeah - pretty much why now is the time to make your move. If you can get within a game or two of them by all-star break, meaning you're playing really well, you can still keep pace most likely even with moves they make.
I saw something over the weekend claiming Tuck would be a Mariner later this year which seemed very delusional.

Hey, if anyone wants to fight this weather, first to claim them here had 4 tonight

We should go 5-1 against the A's and Angels at least

They have the ammo to do it but you'd have to be in complete give up mode this year and next. They probably have the best collection of players below AA in n MLB but those guys are years away. Can't see Crane doing that.cc10106 said:

Looks like our friends in Arlington have really taken advantage of having the 3rd easiest schedule in baseball so far this year.

Yeah I can't see us trading our best player to a division rival. You'd basically be conceding the division to them the next 1.5 seasons

I'm tempted as well even though I know I snap these up often due to proximity.
Edit: Honestly though, I will take them if no one disagrees. Or split them with 2015.

Yall could split them and have a kayak race to the park
If someone doesn't claim them they will sit dark tonight

Graveman was used as the reason why it could happen which tells me it was just some hot take for clicks. As much as that team loves to wheel and deal, I doubt they would give up what it would take anyway.tjack16 said:cc10106 said:

Sure, I'm good for two if 2015 wants two or if not, I'll take two friends along with the wife. Catch me rafting down White Oak Bayou at 6:30.
Saint Frio the Benevolent strikes again.

Go ahead and take the four. Super tempting but I'm going to pass this time around.
Thanks for the offer, Frio. Keep me in mind in the future.

Rookie Spencer Arrighetti makes his 6th MLB start tonight, #Astros are 1-4 in his starts. His run support (2.95) is among the lowest in the AL - his counterpart tonight Ross Stripling has the 2nd lowest (1.93) run support in the AL.

The Astros' home game against the Twins on June 2 has been picked up by Roku. It's now a 12:05 p.m. first pitch.

I'll go ahead and pencil in "dad calling to ask how to watch the game" into my calendar around 11:30am that day

High ERAs and low run support. Movable object vs stop-able force.
Lopes going deep off Stripling tonight

Frio, If you ever decide to donate in the future or like to sell a gamr I'd be interested. Me and the wife went last year and met 2015 and Wes there for Framber's no no. Would love to take our kids and take advantage of the food situation there for them.FrioAg 00 said:
