NEW YORK-- 6/24 -- On the day Kevin Plawecki officially was named to the Futures Game, the catcher received another piece of good news: He's headed to Vegas.

Plawecki, 23, was promoted to Triple-A after Tuesday's Double-A Binghamton game. He hit .326 with six homers and 43 RBIs in 224 at-bats with the B-Mets.

Plawecki was selected 35th overall in 2012 out of Purdue with a compensation pick for the Mets losing Jose Reyes as a free agent to the Miami Marlins.

Sad to say...I'm still not sold on Wheeler....he struggles way too much.

Hahaha..this one is already over ...and it's only the top of the 2nd.....A's 6 - Mets zip.




They should try to stall this one and hope the rain in the area drops by for a long visit.

Now it's onto the steel city and a 4 game series.

All things considered...getting a split against arguably the best team in MLB ain't too shabby.

• Wheeler has to start pitching better ....consistently...and he knows it.
