In defense of Metsblog, they do report pretty frequently about the Mets minors, and they do have perhaps the best minor league Mets writer, Toby Hyde, working with them. However, you're right, not too many people were willing to take into consideration that the Mets push their minor leaguers quickly into higher levels in order to get them exposed to better competition quicker. One other thing to consider- the Pacific League, the AAA division the Mets play in (with New Orleans) is a hitter's league, and has been for many years (remember Greg Brock and Mike Marshall from the Dodgers?) They don't want to hide great players there because the competition is more balanced (read- pitcher's league) in AA with Binghamton.

It seems that the "en vogue" thing to do is bash the Mets, both at the major league and minor league levels. And those guys over at Metsblog know nothing about the minor leagues- only Toby Hyde does over there- and they never take these kind of things into consideration. You guys rock!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
