In a recent post on MetsBlog, Matt Cerrone writes about the very possible re-signing of RHP Elmer Dessens. When talking about another lefty for 2010, he wonders if LHP Michael Antonini will be in "the mix" and called up from AA.
Antonini has a five pitch arsenal which consists of, thanks to Mets Prospect Hub, a two seam fastball, four seam fastball, slider, change up and curveball. They label Antonini as a "ballsy" and "tough kid" who is a solid strike zone pitcher.
Thanks to Toby Hyde's Mets Minor League Blog, Antonini's stats are:
A: 2.71 ERA, 73 IP, 63 H, 22 ER, 61 Ks
A+: 1.84 ERA, 44 IP, 34 H, 9 ER, 33 Ks
AA: 3.74 ERA, 45.2 IP, 43 H, 19 ER, 32 Ks
If he joins the team, I'm curious about how he'll do. Probably not too bright considering we haven't had much success with minor leaguers in the majors, such as F-Mart, Parnell, and Niese, who are all ranked higher than Antonini on Toby Hyde's Top 41 prospects list.
Whatever the case may be, it'll be nice to see a fresh face and new blood in the organization.
