Top 20 Prospects Daily Tracker
Triple-A Syracuse Mets
No completed box score here, because the Syracuse-Buffalo game was postponed by snow, cold temperatures, and below-freezing wind chills. It was rescheduled as part of a doubleheader on April 8.
Double-A Binghamton Rumble Ponies
Same deal here. No completed April 7 box because Binghamton’s home opener against Somerset was postponed by freezing temperatures and wind conditions. That one moved to a doubleheader on April 8.
High-A Brooklyn Cyclones
This is the one affiliate that actually played a full game, and it was ugly. Brooklyn lost 5-1 to Jersey Shore, fell to 0-3, and never got the offense fully going. Joel Diaz punched out five but also walked five in 3.1 innings, which is a pretty good way to spend the night fighting yourself. Irving Cota steadied things with 3.2 scoreless innings in relief. At the plate, Mitch Voit went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts, Antonio Jimenez went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, and Daiverson Gutierrez was the most productive Cyclone with a 1-for-3, one-walk night while also being tagged with a passed ball. Yohairo Cuevas scored the lone run and stole a base.
Single-A St. Lucie Mets
St. Lucie did not finish either, but at least there was action before the rain shut the whole thing down. The game was suspended in the top of the third with St. Lucie leading Dunedin 2-1, and it resumes on April 8.
Best Affiliate Story Today
Brooklyn, by default and by necessity. They were the only full game in town. The bad news is the Cyclones are 0-3. The good news is you still got usable prospect data out of Voit, Jimenez, Gutierrez, and the Diaz-Cota combo. On a night when weather buried most of the system, Brooklyn at least left a footprint.
Star of the Night
Daiverson Gutierrez. Not because he lit the world on fire, but because on a frozen, rain-soaked, schedule-wrecked farm night, a 1-for-3 with a walk was enough to be the steadiest offensive line in the system. Amazin’ Avenue called him the star of the night too, and for once the bar was exactly where the weather left it.
Bottom Line
This was a weather report wearing baseball clothes. Syracuse got snowed out. Binghamton got frozen out. St. Lucie got rained out midstream. Brooklyn was the only affiliate to finish, and the Cyclones lost 5-1 while still giving you the only real box score worth chewing on. That’s the farm on April 7. Not glamorous, but real.
