According to Brian Moritz from the Press & Sun Bulletin, the Mets Double-A affiliate will remain in Binghamton, NY, through 2010.
Fernando Martinez and the B-Mets will open their season Friday against the Trenton Thunder at NYSEG Stadium.
MetsBlog’s Jordan Zakarin interviewed several players from Binghamton, including Martinez and Jon Neise, complete with video and pictures, all of which will be posted to MetsBlog in the next few days.
For more on the Binghamton Mets, check out Moritz’s blog about the B-Mets for the Press & Sun Bulletin.
I’m going to today’s home opener, front row next to the dugout baby
Good for you.
Now, all we need is the Mets to move the Zephyrs to Syracuse. It will make traveling easier (AA, AAA & MLB clubs all in NY) for recuperating players and rising prospects
Why isn’t F Mart at Triple A?
AA is less pressure for right now. If and when he does well he will get promoted to AAA and have even more confidence.
If he went to AAA right away and got off to a bad start it might mess with his confidence
I’ve also heard that the Mets may leave some Top Prospects in AA because of the proximety of Binghamton to NY because
A) its a lots closer than New Orleans and
B) since New Orleans is in the PCL it maybe harder to get some back east. So if he was to get called up for some reason or another, FMart could get here alot sooner from Binghamton or another location in the Eastern League
I am from Binghamton. I went to there first game at NYSEG. I am so glad they are staying. Have fun JKlein.
F Martinez is going to excel at AA and learn to spray the ball to all fields in the big park. Also, in my opinion Binghamton attracts alot of scouts, maybe they are letting baseball know how good he is if we need pitching at the break.
Thanks for the replies. It really is ridiculous that the Mets AAA club is in New Orleans.
I’m going to today’s opener too and sitting front row next to the dugout also.
weird.
How sad is it when a post about the Mets future (this one) has just 8 replies while a post about the past (Bannister) gets over 200?
I cant wait to see how the Bingy squad does this year, they look loaded.
More importantly to the future of the franchise I’m very interested in the St. Lucie club and all of the pitchers who may jump into prospect status if they have a quality year.
