The man who I dubbed as the "Most Interesting Assignment" to AA,?Greg Peavey?had a really, really nice AA debut (5.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K) on a night when every player in the B-Mets lineup had at least one hit.

3B Jefry Marte led the way: 3-4, 2B, 2 RBI. He's off to a 5-for-13 start with two walks and just one strikeout in four games.

Peavey throws lots of strikes, but his command within the zone needs to be sharper as his numbers fell off significantly moving from the South Atlantic League to the Florida State League. ?Compare his work in 78 innings with Savannah to 59 innings with St. Lucie:

With two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning, 3B Jefry Marte lined a single to right-center field to score Travis Ozga with the winning run and send St. Lucie to the Florida State League Championship Series.

The Mets trailed 2-1 going to the bottom of the sixth when LF Pedro Zapata ripped a solo home run to tie the score at 2-2. ?Zapata, who hit .292/.333/.389 during the regular season, was 3-5. ?After three home runs during the regular season, his long ball was his first since August 3.

Greg Peavey?pitched a complete game four-hitter to lead St. Lucie past Jupiter in Game 1 of a doubleheader. ?Peavey allowed one run while walking just one and striking out six. ?It was Peavey's best outing for St. Lucie (7 starts).

Wilmer Flores finished the night 2-4 with a double and two rbi. ?Over his last 10 games, Flores is hitting .353/.410/.647. ?He is now 4th in the FSL with 69 RBI. ?Flores will turn 20-years old on Saturday.

? ? Sunday- @ St. Lucie Mets 5, Clearwater Threshers 2

Wilmer Flores: 4-10, 3B, 4 RBI

Greg Peavey had his best outing since being promoted to St. Lucie. Peavey pitched seven innings, giving up four hits, one run, two walks, and four strikeouts. He also produced 12 ground ball outs.

Peavey has allowed only three earned runs in his 17 innings of work for St. Lucie (1.59 ERA).

Game 2: @ Fort Myers Miracle 3, St. Lucie Mets 2 (7 innings)

Peavey Faces More Disciplined HittersGreg Peavey made his advanced-A debut Saturday and was ok: 5 IP, 4 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 3 K. ?Note the three walks. ?He had one three-walk outing in the SAL on April 23. ?For me, one of the principal differences between A and advanced-A is that the hitters are more disciplined at the higher level. ?Peavey walked four batters over his final nine starts, a span of 54 innings, in the SAL!

Nice night for the Gnats as every hitter in the lineup reached base safely, seven of nine had hits, and Greg Peavey kept on rolling. ?Savannah stayed 3.5 games ahead of Greenville, who won in extra innings, with nine games to play in the first half.

It was mostly about fastball command for Peavey who got stronger as the game went on and retired the final ten batters to face him. ?To my eyes, his slider was his most effective secondary pitch, although he threw both his curve and his changeup, including a couple good ones, as well. ?His line: 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, 7/2 go/ao. ?Since May 1: 48 IP, 39 H, 4 BB, 40 K. ?Dude's ready for the next level.

Fernando!Fernando Martinez was 4-5 with a double and a strikeout.

I didn't watch the whole Bisons' game, but I saw the double, when he waited on a curveball and ripped it into right field.? It was an impressive piece of hitting on its own, showing strong pitch recognition and the ability to drive the pitch.? In a larger context, where pitch recognition and patience have lagged behind his pure skills, it was even better.
