2014 Monday Morning Mets Minors Players of the Week

July 14-20, 2014

            Keeping track of the hottest minor leaguers in the Mets farm system. A few hours later than normal this time, sorry!

Hitter of the Week: Dilson Herrera just kept on rolling last week, picking up 4 XBH, 4 BB, 2 SB against 2 SO.

Starting Pitcher of the Week: John Gant took a no-hitter into the 6^th and then finished the double-header-shortened shutout on Sunday – he was in control the entire game.

Relief Pitcher of the Week: Giving the nod to Brad Wieck for recording 5/6 outs via the strikeout.

Team of the Week: With the most wins and no clear stand out, the nod goes to the Mets of St. Lucie. The Gnats and Cyclones had strong weekends, so let’s see if either brings that into this new week.

Las Vegas 51s

2-2 record

There were only four games thanks to the All-Star Break, and they weren’t a great four games. Another hat tip to Allan Dykstra for winning the HR-Derby, keeping on slugging Allan!
