Too harsh? All I said was I had my doubts and this is what’s thrown out there:
Plus, when Shea, Dep, Lunk, Ed, Danny and whoever enjoys the advantages a fellow Met fan can offer, it will be that much sweeter for them. And that’s all that matters.
Nice way to alienate a lot of us.

I honestly think the Mets don’t get “compelling” until 2011. Seriously. Start thinking of other topics to discuss during next baseball season as well.

Ed,
Love the new handle. Yeah, I’ll tone it down with our pal. I wouldn’t want a C level geek like myself to scare away a celeb geek. I’ll try to keep my opinions to myself with him/her on the condition that you give me an extra half hour in the yard once a week and a carton of cigarettes. But you know where I stand.
Thanks,

Comment posted byJohnon August 31, 2009 at 9:11 pm (#1072231)
if stoner becomes anything id say 4th/5th starter…….he doesnt throw very hard.
Tobi Hyde ranked him #31 in the Mets system
This is what he said before the season began
Why Ranked Here: Stoner has simply continued to retire batters even as he’s worked to more advanced competition. That success in AA and the winter leagues especially, counts for something. Stoner works with a four pitch mix where his curveball is his second and his changeup his third offering. The curve at 76 has nice velocity and bite. In July in Binghamton, Stoner was throwing 88-90, sitting mostly at 89, a slightly below average MLB fastball in terms of velocity. In the AFL, a scout was quoted in another publication as saying that the fastball was “average,” a more optimistic assessment than was common among those who saw him in the Eastern League.
2008: Stoner cruised through the Florida State League in 2008 on his way to a mid-June promotion to AA Binghamton. After a rough outing at the end of June, Stoner posted a 3.47 ERA in his final 11 AA starts. Working out of the bullpen in the AFL, he was solid. Stoner’s final 2008 assignment, a five-game run in Puerto Rico spilled over into 2009 but was very fine as well.
Dr. Pangloss Says: Stoner’s ability to throw strikes (2.63 BB/9) will keep him employed. An average fastball and an average breaking ball (which he already possesses) would slot Stoner comfortably into a bullpen role. Add a second average off-speed pitch and he’s a candidate at the back of a rotation.
On the Flipside: I am concerned about Stoner’s velocity. I saw him with a slightly below average MLB fastball in AA in 2008. More recently, in Puerto Rico, Andy Braunstein reported that Stoner, at the end of a long season was throwing 85-88. Stoner did not strike out seven batters per nine innings at any of his stops after A-ball in 2008. With that many balls in play, more powerful upper level hitters could make him pay more frequently.
Projected 2009 Start: Binghamton
