JEURYS FAMILIA RUMORS
Collins Cautioned Not To Use Familia Due To Drop In Velocity
According to a report by Adam Rubin on ESPN New York, Terry Collins handled the eighth inning initially with Vic Black on Monday because the staff had advised Collins to stay away from Jeurys Familia.
“I talked to the pitching guys today and they said, ‘Listen, if you can give him a night, give him a night, because he can use it,’” Collins said. “If you think about it...

Familia Emerging as a Valuable Option in Mets Bullpen
In my recap Saturday, I didn’t do right by Jeurys Familia by simply stating that the big rightly tossed two perfect innings in the Mets 5-3 win over the Pirates. In a word, of better yet two words, Familia was “downright nasty.”
Once regarded as one of the Mets’ top starting pitching prospects, Familia has adapted well in his new role in the bullpen, and with each new appearance...

The Mets’ “bullpen of the future” is here
Last night in Pittsburgh a beautiful thing happened. Jon Niese, though a bit erratic at times, pitched effectively through six innings and handed a lead to a Mets bullpen that sealed the win. A win is always great, but what made this one special was how it was closed out and what it portends. The fashion in which the back end of the bullpen shut down the Pirates offense should get...

Familia Quickly Closing In On Closer Role
It seems like eons since the Mets were back in Spring Training given all the ups and downs we’ve endured during the first two months of the regular season.
One of the players I was very excited about for the upcoming 2014 season, was starter-turned-reliever, Jeurys Familia.
The hard-throwing 24-year old came into camp fresh off a dominating performance in Winter Ball that had more...

Jeurys Familia faces uphill battle for Opening Day roster spot
The good news is that Jeurys Familia has not pitched in the first three exhibition games of the year and is therefore not among the nine pitchers in camp with an ERA of 9.00 or above. The bad news is, well, just about everything else. Familia has gone from hot-shot pitching prospect to potential future closer to staring at another season in the minors and being bypassed by others...

Scouts Are Raving About Jeurys Familia
Jeurys Familia hasn’t thrown a lot this winter, but when he has, he’s been lights out, missing a ton of bats and flashing the mid-to-upper-90s velocity that has scouts raving, writes Baseball Prospectus. You can’t put a lot of stock in winter league performances, but you can put a ton of stock in young pitchers returning from injury and regaining velocity and missing bats...

Familia Activated From Disabled List
The Mets announced that RHP Jeurys Familia will rejoin the team in time for their doubleheader today against the Marlins.
After undergoing surgery to remove bone spurs in his elbow last June, Familia has worked hard to get himself back to the big-league team. Going forward, Familia has put himself in line for a significant role in our 2014 bullpen.
During his string of rehab games...

HYPE files: Jeurys Familia
Why the hype?
Jeurys Familia, SP: Before the season started, Familia was considered one of the top three prospects in the Mets minor league systems. Coming into the season, some people ranked him higher than Matt Harvey and/or Zack Wheeler. As the season comes to an end, he has become a polarizing prospect. With a 96 MPH fastball and a biting slider, no one can argue his stuff...

Jeurys Familia may prove to be a second-half star
Readers of my Met’s Minors column may have grown accustomed to me ignoring players who might be struggling in a given week. For this reason you have heard a lot about: Matt Harvey, Wilmer Flores, Zack Wheeler, Travis Taijeron and Aderlin Rodriguez, but less about others. Well I tend to go by the doctrine of, “If I don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything...

Top 10 Mets Prospects of 2012: #3 Jeurys Familia
3. Jeurys Familia, Pitcher, Bats: R, Throws: R, Age: 22, ETA: 2012
It is only a matter of time before Jeurys Familia finds a home on the Mets 25-man roster. The 22-year old right-handed starter is arguably the hardest thrower the Mets have stashed in the farm system. His fastball has been clocked in as fast as 97 mph.
Now that the team has inked Jon Niese to a five-year deal,...
