Jesus Montero comes in as the sixth hottest prospect in the minors in this week’s Prospect Hot Sheet. D.J. Mitchell got some love In The Team Photo. Make sure you read Montero’s blurb, great little paragraph in there about player development and stuff. Also make sure you check out Rebecca’s photos from last night’s Double-A Trenton game. She’s got some great video of Manny Banuelos.
This is the last weekend of the minor league season, in case you forgot. Everyone plays their final game on Monday except for High-A Tampa and Short Season Staten Island, who wrap up on Sunday. Triple-A Scranton and Double-A Trenton have already clinched playoff spots, and Tampa should do the same this weekend barring a Metsian collapse. Everyone else is done.
Triple-A Scranton (10-4 win over Pawtucket)
Reid Gorecki, RF: 2 for 4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 3B – six of his last ten hits have gone for extra bases (four doubles, two triples)

Jesus Montero, C: 3 for 5, 2 R, 2 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI – he also hit a ball to the warning track … the homer was an absolute bomb … he’s the ninth player in team history, and the first catcher, to have a 20 homer season … go look at his season stat line in The Montero Watch in the sidebar, this guy was flirting with a .600 OPS in May, he’s been ridiculous over the last three months
Juan Miranda, 1B: 3 for 5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI – had homered in each of the last two games, but he only managed a double this time around

Colin Curtis, CF: 2 for 3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB – threw a runner out at second … Montero gets all the attention, but Lil’ CC is 12 for his last 32 (.375) with four doubles and two homers

Dan Brewer, RF: 3 for 5, 5 R, 1 3B, 4 RBI, 1 BB – the five runs might be a DotF record … it at least tied the record, if anything

Dellin Betances: 4 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 5 K, 2 WP, 2-2 GB/FB – 108-22 K/BB ratio in 85.1 IP … word on the street is that he’s getting the ball in Game One of the playoffs
