Mets Minor League Daily – August 16, 2014

Updated throughout the day and night

Minor News

            Check out yesterday’s results here.

            Lynn Worthy says that Tyler Pill has been flying under the radar this year with Binghamton. I’ve been talking Pill up since April 28, when I first saw him this year, as he’s got good control of four pitches, although none would be considered plus. I think he ranks above Logan Verrett but below Matthew Bowman among Mets pitching prospects.

             Sand Gnats President John Katz will be receiving a prostate exam while singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the 7^th inning stretch tonight.

            Toby Hyde discusses Dom Smith’s lack of homerun power with Savannah this year.
