Fangraphs: New York Mets Top 30 Prospects. Great job as always by Fangraphs. Here is their Top 10 - 1. Francisco Alvarez; 2. Brett Baty; 3. Ronny Mauricio; 4. Alex Ramirez; 5. Matthew Allan; 6. Mark Vientos; 7. Eric Orze; 8. Calvin Ziegler;  9. Dedniel Nunez  10. Colin Holderman.  

I thought the analysis of Francisco Alvarez's defense was spot on - "Defensively, Álvarez is a bit of a mixed bag. He receives on one knee with the bases empty but mixes his technique with runners on. His traditional crouch can be a little high and make it tough for him to get to the ground to block balls, which he often tries to do with his hands rather than his whole body, and he’ll cost you a base now and then because of this. Álvarez has plenty of arm strength, and has gotten better at starting to exit his crouch before the pitch has reached him, or just cutting it loose from his knees when that’s not feasible."

1977
With New York third baseman Lenny Randle at the plate in the sixth inning, Shea Stadium goes dark when the Big Apple suddenly experiences a blackout. Before the game against the Cubs is suspended due to the power shortage, the Mets' players drive their cars onto the field and amuse the crowd by performing a variety of antics in front of the headlights. (Event submitted to National Pastime.com by Anthony Ventarola for submitting this event).

C David Ross filling in for Brian McCann, who is on paternity leave, drives in 4 runs for the Braves, who also benefit from 11 walks issued by New York pitchers.
