If you have any link tips, suggest them to @Astromets31 on twitter and I’ll add them in.

            Check out yesterday’s results here.

            Casey Meisner made this weeks BA prospect hot sheet.

            Jeff Moore did a free write-up on Jhoan Urena.

            Ed Graney says that Old School Managing still matters to 51s manager Wally Backman.

            Lynn Worth says the Mets hitting philosophy takes time to develop.

            ICYMI, the owners of the Sand Gnats are moving the team to Columbia, but Savannah will try to find a team (perhaps Indy league) to play at Historic Grayson Stadium. I looked at how things got this bad in Savannah here.

Full recap

Minors MVP of the Day – Jayce Boyd picked up his first homerun of the year, and scored 2 of the B-Mets 3 runs.

Minors Cy of the Day – Josh Prevost needed only 83 pitches for a 7-inning complete game to start the Sand Gnats double header, which put less pressure on the game two starter Ricky Knapp, who was on a pitch limit since he has been pitching from the pen.
