Rafael Montero was absolutely amazing today as he continued his stretch of dominance over the entire Eastern League. Montero breezed through his start against the Altoona Curve with seven more shutout innings, allowing just two hits and a walk over that span. He struck out six and dazzled anyone watching as he spun a gem.
Over his last three starts in...
Power Prospect Cory Vaughn Is On A Mission
Despite a major league pedigree and respect for his tools (Baseball America Top 15 organizational prospect three years running), Binghamton Mets outfielder Cory Vaughn had yet to put all his tools together. His power and speed didn’t show up until 2012, but he hit .243. In St. Lucie in 2011, Vaughn hit .286 before his promotion, but only four home runs. After the promotion...

Mets Minor League Roundup 4/12:
Class AAA - COLORADO SPRINGS 6, LAS VEGAS 1: Starter Carlos Torres was charged with five runs (three earned) on nine hits and three walks in three innings. Reese Havens' pinch-hit single in the fifth scored Jamie Hoffmann with Las Vegas' lone run. Josh Satin (.444) went 0-for-4 to lose a season-opening eight-game hitting streak...
Who’s Hot / Who’s Not: Josh Satin’s Scalding Start, Cory Vaughn Struggles
Four of the Mets minor league affiliates opened up their seasons last Thursday, and with almost a week of game play in the books, it is a great time to bust out the first Who’s Hot and Who’s Not for the 2013 minor league season.
Who’s Hot
Josh Satin 1B, Las Vegas – Josh Satin has been scalding hot to begin the AAA season, with a .483 average (14-for-29) and a 1.378 OPS...
Mets Minors: Building from the bottom up – Cory Vaughn
Cory Vaughn: I still like Cory Vaughn and his big-power bat but the son of Greg Vaughn has a lot of growing to do in AA this year to get into the picture as a true prospect again. He’ll be 24 in May and while that is a good pace for him to be in AA he hasn’t exactly blown the competition since 2010 in the NYP league. He DID manage a .814 OPS in Port St. Lucie and DID hit...
Mets Minors: Cory Vaughn pours on the power in PSL
It took me a moment to decide who I was going to focus this week. Zack Wheeler tossed two more games, Reese Havens returned to Binghamton and made up for lost time, Wilmer Flores is still hitting and T.J. Rivera continues to try his best to make me take notice of his play in Savannah. Instead I’m going to write about Cory Vaughn… Again.
I have a pretty legit excuse. ...
Mets Minors: Outfield of dreams
Earlier I wrote a piece on Cory Vaughn. To say the least, I’m still excited for his 2012 which is set to begin in Port St. Lucie. What I didn’t imagine was that I might be looking at two other prospect outfielders in the same ballpark. The Port St. Lucie Mets will be fielding an outfield of: Cesar Puello, Darrell Ceciliani and Vaughn which is something to be a little excited...
