Hope Eli's championship swag might've transferred from him to Wilson to Wright.

 

[Tommy Fits]

Mets called up Elvin Ramirez, he's been lights out between AA and AAA, hopefully he can help out of the Pen.

 

[Real Talk of NY]

Significant minor league performances from yesterday and today.

-Chris Young 6ip 2h 0r in AAA.

-Zach Wheeler 7ip 3h 1r 0bb 8k at AA (Dude has been lights out in 9 starts with a 1.88 era.) In his last 22ip he has given up 7 hits 4er 6bb and 23k. Time for him to move up. By far our best prospect.

-Jenrry Mejia 6ip 2h 2r in AAA.

We got arms on the way brehs.

Man next year is going to be so much fun

And anyone booing Beltran tomorrow should be fukked up and then thrown out of the stadium

 

[lepard]

So will you boo or cheer Beltran tonight?

I vote for cheer... it's not his fault that he made CF look effortless. He can't possibly be judged on that devastating Wainwright curveball.

 

[DirtyD]

Cheer him the first time up after that he's the enemy.

I would cheer him. I thought he took too much crap from the media and the fans, who seemingly never forgave him for 2006. That curveball had me like

 

[Rev]

nice...it looks like they're airborne.

beltran should hear more cheers than boos tonight...as Reyes did.

 

[LandryFieldsDad]

2006 by Beltran arguably the best season ever by a met

 

[Carolina Slim]

Already some idiots calling in to WFAN downplaying Beltran... Francesa trying to drop knowledge on these fools.

 

[Tommy Fits]

They booed Reyes they will boo Beltran even more. Both deserve/deserved Standing O's. IMO both would have played more games if they weren't rushed back from injuries to try and sell tickets.

Zack Wheeler (traded for Beltran) wowing scouts in Double-A with Mets

Carlos Beltran's lasting legacy with the Mets could be more than the 149 home runs he hit (or the Adam Wainwright curveball he watched in 2006).

Carlos Beltran's legacy could be that he was the guy that got them Zack Wheeler. And, with Beltran returning to Citi Field on Friday night with the Cardinals, that may be more than enough.

Scouts following the Mets farm system are raving about Wheeler, a right-hander who just turned 21 on Wednesday and is said to have stuff that reminds them of Justin Verlander and Stephen Strasburg.

"I haven't seen [Orioles super-prospect Dylan] Bundy yet, but this guy is the best minor-league pitcher I've seen this year," said one rival scout who watched Wheeler pitch for Double-A Binghamton on Thursday night. "He just blew me away. One of the best I've ever seen."

The scout said that Wheeler touched 100 mph on the radar gun, and pitched at 96-97 mph.

"And with no effort," he said. "And late life on the fastball. And with a knee-buckling curve, and a good changeup. He was overpowering. [Reading] is a pretty good team, but it was like a man vs. boys."

In nine Double-A starts, Wheeler has held opponents to a .169 batting average, with 21 walks and 60 strikeouts in 52 2/3 innings. He's 5-2, with a 1.88 ERA, after allowing one run on three hits in seven innings against Reading, the team leading the Eastern League in batting.

The Giants agonized about trading Wheeler, who was their first-round draft pick (and the sixth pick overall) in 2009. But with their offense struggling after Buster Posey's injury, they eventually decided to do the one-for-one deal with the Mets for Beltran.

Mets beat writer Andy McCullough of the Star-Ledger offers an interesting history of the Beltran trade.

The Mets could be building a fine rotation of the future, as scouts also like Matt Harvey, currently at Triple-A Buffalo. But Wheeler seems to be the prize.

"I saw Harvey this year, and it's not even close," the scout said. "And I like Harvey."
