            Check out yesterday’s results here.

            I track the top performers in the Mets system on a week-to-week basis, and Monday’s report is out!

            Some extended spring training players played a game against Cardinals players that was tracked on iscorecast today.

            Stefan Sabol was placed on the EL 7-day DL with a foot injury yesterday and Raywilly Gomez was activated in his place.

            Betsy Helfand of the LVRJ says that situational hitting and power woes are plaguing the 51s’ offense. I won’t have enough time to recap yesterday’s 51s game, but check out Helfand’s recap here, with some great quotes from Wally.
