Excellent! Can you fill in some of my high minors?
C Kantaro Iitsuka—International FA signee is the only Las Vegas 51 without a facegen.
SP Colin Rodgers—Part of the haul in that Eggemeyer trade I mentioned; in the rotation at Binghamton.
MR Jeff Walters —No idea why he isn't in the all-in-one mod after recording 38 saves for Binghamton in 2013; still can't stick at AAA and no longer closes for the B-Mets but hanging around
CF Chris Lofton—So at the end of 2015 spring training, Matt den Dekker has won the starting CF job and Kirk Nieuwenhuis is surplus goods. Time to shed Kirk's salary and swap some long-in-the-tooth minor leaguers for younger talent, right? Naturally, Nieuwenhuis puts up a .775 OPS in 201 ABs as a fourth OF in SF, while den Dekker's rocking .156/.258/.202 performance sees him spending most of the summer in Las Vegas and making the subsequent Kevin-Plawecki-for-Christian-Yelich trade something of a necessity. Sigh. Lofton is hitting .341 at Binghamton, though, so that's good.
RF Victor Cruzado—Cruzing up the chain, posting OPS numbers over .900 at three different stops and currently in RF for Binghamton.
RF Vicente "Hungry Like The" Lupo—not as good as his running mate, Cruzado, but seems useful, so far.
As always, thanks.
