de Grom rebuilt his repertoire after Tommy John and became a 4 pitch pitcher at anytime in the count. Now the Amazins' have a young arsenal of pitchers and as we go to press de Grom might be the odd man. If your a Mets backer that has to be disappointing as you see it's all about pitching in defense when going after that parade route with hitting being in the back drop.

Hamilton looked like he was somewhere on Planet Mars earlier in the 162 then he caught on. A true speed demon and if he can just learn to drive the Rawlings stitched-one to all fields lookout. He also needs to tighten up his base stealing getting speeding tickets 23 out of 79 times...and with his speed that is all technique. Get to Rickey Henderson or the great Tim Raines to learn how to become a better base stealer Mr. Hamilton!

The St. Louis Cards have them one here as Wong saved his best for Red October's push to the NL Pennant and the Fall Classic. He should be penciled in 2015 as the everyday second baseman as he will only get better and stronger with even better power numbers! Wong and the late Ocscar Taveres were 1 and 2 in that Card farm system with star potential oozing in all directions!
