Counting on Duda to be much of a prospect is probably wasted effort. If you can’t put up numbers in college as a hitter with aluminum bats… the wood certainly won’t be a boost to your production.

Mejia is starting tomorrow, and the game is in Surprise, so there will be pitchF/X for that game.

Of note, the PitchFX data does not appear to be in every game. It’s not in the Mesa v Phoenix game.

A site claimed it was only at Peoria and Surprise, which is good cuz that presumably means half of our games are in Surprise.

Let’s hope Mejia pitches mainly in Surprise….(Please?)

8 run inning while being K’d three times… Arizona ball for sure

Tejada book ended that inning with two of the K’s
Duda with a two run double, to push the total RBI by Mets to 9

If davis can keep this up all winter, and has a show-off ST, why not consider him to replace Murphy?

If nothing else, it makes it much more likely that the Mets concentrate on getting an OF, and don’t worry about 1B, even if they intend to start Davis in AAA. Murphy or another filler can hold down the fort until he forces his way up.

Not that I am optomistic or anything…

Plus, if he does it this way, murphy would still be available to strengthen the bench, not a bad thing at all.

I feel like the light that had gone out of my life is shining again.

Davis with the Granny and another knock, Tejada smacking a double, oh my!

Agreed, i JUST noticed that! That’s huge.

For those who wish to manipulate the data, you can find it here:

(the “win” i guess is for winter ball).

Alternatively, for those who don’t want to compile data, BrooksBaseball is also putting up each game. You can find it Here: http://brooksbaseball.net/pfx/indexafl.php

Grand Slam for Ike Davis off of a lefty.. Tejada singled earlier in the inning too..

Yup, a touch above average velo from LHP. He could be a bullpen piece, or at the absolute top end, a starter, but he’s got some serious work to do to get there.
