Can’t complain. He’s a guy that scouts thought would take a jump in 2020. If they’ve scouted him this year and like what they see then I’m a fan.

I watched the first three innings and he was sitting 91-93 with the fastball according to the announcer. The velocity was working because he was commanding his curveball pretty well.

Groome’s line will look worse due to the 3-run home run he gave up, but other than that mistake he actually has pitched a really good game.

Probably not the prospect we’re getting, but Tylor Megill was promoted to AAA.

If Rule 5 eligibility wasn’t a concern, then Guzman would be pretty high on my list of desired guys but I don’t think he’s actually in play. Super interesting guy though.

Ricardo Cubillan joins Portland from Fort Meyers to take Mieses’s roster spot. So Portland now has one true outfielder on their roster.
True Outfielders:
Worcester-Duran, Cordero, Gettys, Matheny, Mieses, Puello, and Wilson
Portland-Rosario

Last prediction before we get the names this week: I think it will ultimately be one of Jaylen Palmer, Junior Santos, Robert Dominguez, Freddy Valdez, or Joshua Cornielly. I don't think Newton, Butto, Gilliam or Megill fit because of Rule 5 eligibility. We shall see. I agree and hope Dominguez is the guy in particular. Mets righty Robert Dominguez has opened eyes in spring training with a fastball up to 97 mph, as well as a solid breaking ball and changeup. Some scouts even have him pegged as the organization’s second-best pitching prospect, behind only Matt Allan. Agreed. The section above is from a BA article from last month highlighting guys turning heads in minor league camp. Same article tagged Bello as a breakout pitcher. I’ve been convinced that Megill doesn’t necessarily fit the type of player that they probably should be looking for so I’d take Dominguez in a heartbeat.

Thinking about the fact that the Sox are likely looking for guys not Rule-5 eligible, one guy I wouldn’t hate would be Alex Ramirez. Likely a pipe dream but it’s a potential vs proximity thing. With the caveat that rankings aren’t everything, Lee falls in as the Mets #7 prospect and is major league ready(ish). Ramirez (#9 prospect) has tons of potential but is years away. If Ramirez is too rich for the Mets, Robert Dominguez and Freddy Valdez could be possibilities. Dominguez hasn’t played a professional game yet but his stuff looks good, is progressing, and has impressed a bit during the last year or so. Valdez has the power and arm to be a corner outfielder.

Stanley Consuerga is interesting option from the Mets, Hopefully as the lesser of two pieces coming back, $500k signing bonus in 17-18 period, drafted as a ss but moved to outfield where his arm could play in right. 6’2 176 when drafted but hopefully has added some muscle. Played 2018 and got promoted from DSL to GCL, despite middling numbers, then Missed 2019 due to a knee injury and then last year was lost, so the kind of guy you would want to see in the GCL. A little more of a lottery ticket upside then most of the options you see in their 15-30’prospects that have been discussed. We’re only getting one player from the Mets. The lower level lottery type guys will be coming from the Royals.

Weekly Royals Prospect Watch
3B Emmanuel Rivera (24, AAA) Week Line: 10-21, 4 2B, 3B, 2 HR, 1 BB, 7 K Season Line: .253/.313/.517/.830, 6 2B, 3B, 5 HR, 5 BB, 23 K Not the type of prospect I think they're going to go for, but that's a pretty good week. He's putting up decent numbers (though greatly skewed by this week) at age 24 in AAA.
2B Gabriel Cancel (24, AAA) Week Line: 8-21, 2B, 4 HR, 1 BB, 4 K Season Line: .247/.321/.521/.842, 2 2B, 6 HR, 8 BB, 21 K Same deal as Rivera. I'd also take this week's numbers with a grain of salt because it looks like the Royals AAA team just beat up on whoever they played this past week.
Jeison Guzman (22, A+) Week Line: 4-12, 2B, HR, 1 BB, 4 K, SB Season Line: .355/.474/.613/1.087, 2 2B, 2 HR, 5 BB, 8 K, 6/7 SB Guzman has only played 8 games so far this year, but they've been 8 good ones. He looks to be a really talented SS, but isn't anywhere on their top prospect list. He's currently playing for the Dominican Republic in the Olympic Qualifiers. He's had an interesting career path, already being added to the 40 man and non-tendered before he reached the age of 22.
Maikel Garcia (21, A) Week Line: 8-20, 2 2B, 3B, 4 BB, 4 K Season Line: .338/.433/.450/.883, 7 2B, 3B, 15 BB, 13 K, 4/5 SB Good K/BB ratio as a 21 year old. Not striking out a lot. Not much over the fence power, but there's some gap there.
#29 Angel Zerpa (21, A+) Week Line: 1 GS, 5.0 IP, 3 H, 1 BB, 7 K Season Line: 5 GS, 24.2 IP, 4 BB, 37 K, 1.82 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, .176 BAA Bunch of average pitches and good pitchability for his age. Doing really well this year, which is great, but he's also already on the 40-man and I don't think the Sox need another prospect in the low minors taking up another roster spot.

Weekly Mets Prospect Watch.
#11 Junior Santos (A, 19) Week Line: 2 G (1 GS), 4.0 IP, 6 H, 7 ER, 5 BB, 5 K. Season Line: 15.0 IP, 9 BB, 17 K, 7.20 ERA, .267 BAA, 1.67 WHIP Bad week for Santos and some ugly early season numbers, but he's still going to be 19 for pretty much the whole season so I take the numbers with a grain of salt.
#12 Jayden Palmer (A, 20) Week Line: 6-17, 5 BB, 5 K, 1 SB Season Line: .233/.356/.274/.630, 1 2B, 1 3B, 14 B, 26 K, 4/5 SB 1st good week for Palmer. He had an interesting month, given that his scouting report has power as his standout tool and he hit 2 XBH in May.
#17 Jose Butto (A+, 23) Week Line: DNP Season Line: 18.1 IP, 7 BB, 19 K, 3.93 ERA, .188 BAA, 1.04 WHIP Butto has been pretty good over the last few weeks. He had a rough first start, but his numbers since then are 14.2 IP, 9 H, 4 ER, 4 BB, 14 K, 2.45 ERA.
#19 Carlos Cortes (AA, 23) Week Line: 4-13, 2 2B, HR, 3 BB, 3 K Season Line: .250/.333/.463/.796, 8 2B, 3 HR, 11 B, 17 K, 0/1 SB Small guy (5'7") with a little pop, but no real defensive home. Needs to hit to provide value.
#23 Tylor Megill (AA, 25) Week Line: 4.1 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 9 K Season Line: 26.0 IP, 7 BB, 42 K, 3.12 ERA, .221 BAA, 1.08 WHIP First rough week for Megill and it still wasn't horrible. Still managed to strike out 9 and only walk 2 across 4.1 IP. Probably the guy I'd like the most out of the system at this point. Just realizing he is a little on the older side. He turns 26 in July.

I’m a big fan of Williams. Of the batters that are currently on the team (not including Casas), I would put money on him being the most likely to make the majors. There are guys with more potential on the team, but I’d bet a lot of money that Grant Williams plays on a major league team some day. He plays hard, puts the ball in play, doesn’t strike out, fields well at second, and can passably take care of third and short in a pinch. He’ll play somewhere in the MLB.

Roldani Baldwin went on the IL with the hamstring injury that he got a couple days ago.

Winckowski dominant through 7 innings. Only one hit allowed and that was a very high grounder that barely made it over Fitzgerald’s glove. Very little hard contact, lot of weak groundballs, and a lot of strikeouts.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before but Johan Mieses hit a home run. #11 on the year in 21 games.
Ok I get that it’s small sample size. I get that he’s turning 26 in a month and a half. I get that he’s been in AA since 2017. I get that Portland has 2 outfielders and it feels like Worcester has 50. But how long does he have to mash before they move him up?

Possibility of 4 rain outs tonight. Pretty much guaranteed not to be a full slate of games.

Roldani Baldwin got pulled with a right hamstring injury. He pulled up going first to third. Initially stayed in the game on the base paths after seeing the trainer, but got pulled before his next at bat.
