2015 Monday Morning Mets Minors Players of the Week

He's been a stud since returning to Las Vegas

August 31-September 6, 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: Dilson Herrera finished the season with Las Vegas red-hot, and the Mets could always use more offense.

Starting Pitcher of the Week: Logan Taylor did a great job for St. Lucie down the stretch, and should probably have a spot in Binghamton’s rotation next season.

Relief Pitcher of the Week: Akeel Morris has 3 strikeouts in each of his last 4 appearances, and he now has 25 K: 9 BB and a 0.42 ERA over his last 14 appearances (21 IP).

Team of the Week: This choice made easy by the fact that only Savannah finished with a .500+ record for the week.

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, 8/17-23, 8/24-30
