2015 Monday Morning Mets Minors Players of the Week

Taijeron has had an impressive debut season with Las Vegas

August 17-23, 2015

            Keeping track of the hottest minor leaguers in the Mets farm system, I will be rotating through the lower level teams covered here.

Hitter of the Week: I don’t think there have ever been so many options available for this award, but Travis Taijeron’s 4 homeruns has his slugging percentage higher than almost every other batters OPS.

Starting Pitcher of the Week: Chris Flexen has been lights out for Savannah since returning to them, giving Mets fans reason to believe in his potential again.

Relief Pitcher of the Week: Christian Montgomery made his one appearance last week count striking out 7 of 9 batters faced.

Team of the Week: The Sand Gnats didn’t lose all week, although they lost their winning streak thanks to a rare baseball tie (what BS!).

Previous weeks: 4/9-19, 4/20-26, 4/27-5/3, 5/4-10, 5/11-17, 5/18-24, 5/25-31, 6/1-7, 6/8-14, 6/15-21, 6/22-28, 6/29-7/5, 7/6-12, 7/13-19, 7/20-26, 7/27-8/2, 8/3-16
