interesting. he's a good quality starter. nothing special but he's able collar guy that eats innings usually.
 
To be honest, I don't want Lagares to produce like Beltran. Don't get me wrong. I love Beltran. If he does that, fans/media will eat him up whenever he messes up like they did to Beltran. No need to give him more pressure. I am fine with the way he plays. It reminds me of Endy Chavez/Timo Perez. You know they never disappoint you with their defense. Their offense weren't that great, but they always surprise you with their batting performance. They are a heck of base runners. The only thing Lagares needs to work on is to reduce his strikeout.

I am glad that Alderson, Ricciardi and DePodesta didn't mess up Minaya's draft picks/international prospects. They keep these players and let them grow in their clubhouse. You know some general managers usually trade their team's previous general manager's players away after they take the job. 28 players of our 40-man roster are homegrown.

Flores went from .125 to .273 in the last 11 games. The best part about him is that he's got the potential to be a heck of an RBI machine. His RBI numbers in the minor are pretty impressive.

uhhh u don't want a player ur rooting for to play better?
 
it's not in Lagares' nature to play like Beltran. Guy is a blue collar hitter that needs to focus on getting on base and driving the ball when it makes sense. Cut down on the K's and he'll be fine.
 
ok. i didn't mean bat exactly like beltran. just improve his batting, produce like beltran has.  the statement that you don't want him to succeed too much in fear of raising expectations is kinda ridiculous imo.
 
I have no problem if Lagares improves his batting. I'd like to see him improves his OBP up to around.350. I trust Kevin Long that he will Lagares make a better contact hitter.
 
word.  speaking of OBP, Grandy has a crazy statline on the season so far - .195BA but .373OBP
 
Nice to see Murph get that hit, uncharacteristic slump to start but that's from the hamstring injury.

Nice early lead for Colon
 
It sucks that I can't watch Mets game (MLB.tv app) on my iPhone due to local.
 
last year i got around it with a vpn this year i haven't been able to. but u can listen to thread broadcast via mlb.tv without a vpn.
