Here's the latest on how the Mets' top prospects are performing in the minors...

June 15, 9:43 p.m.

It's the start of a new era for Ronny Mauricio. The Mets' top prospect played outfield for the first time in a game on Thursday for Triple-A Syracuse.

He had a rough start in the field as he made an error in the first inning. Mauricio bobbled a groundball in left field as he tried to cut it off from getting to the wall. He did get his first putout as a left fielder in the fifth inning.

However, he more than made up for the error with his bat. Mauricio went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs in Syracuse's 7-4 loss to the Buffalo Bisons.

After Thursday's game, Mauricio now has 10 home runs and 37 RBI this season while hitting .322 in 62 games in Triple-A.

June 15, 6:00 p.m.

Mets top prospect Ronny Mauricio will receive his first career start in the outfield in Thursday night’s game for Triple-A Syracuse.

Mauricio is batting second and playing left field in the matchup with the Buffalo Bisons.

Billy Eppler and the Mets have also tested him out at second in an attempt to add some versatility. Mauricio committed seven errors in 36 appearances at the position.

Offensively, though, Mauricio has been a star for Syracuse.

In 61 games, he's hitting .316 with a .878 OPS, 23 doubles, two triples, eight home runs, and 35 RBI. He's also added ten stolen bases in 15 attempts.

If the athletic 22-year-old can master the outfield, perhaps he'll find himself one the big league roster sooner rather than later.

June 13, 1:15 p.m.

The Mets announced that infielder Ronny Mauricio is officially day-to-day after an MRI revealed a bone bruise in his left ankle.

Mauricio injured the ankle in an on-field collision while sliding into second base earlier this month. He missed three games before returning to the lineup, but the Mets sent Mauricio for further testing after he didn't quite look like himself in his return.

Call him up!  If it wasn't for the bone bruise, I'm not sure Guillorme would have received the call over Mauricio.  Let all the kids play!!

I agree. As we hit July, it might be time to sell on say Canha, and give his spot to Mauricio.

No chance on Vasil. Just hit AAA. My guess is we don't see him until September, at the earliest. Luchessi is next man up, and we're getting Quintana back soon to take someone's spot (Megill or Carrasco).

maybe part of their "plan" behind why they are still giving Cahna, Escobar, Pham and Voglebus so much playing time is that they are just trying to get them a little bit of trade value before the trade deadline...

When I was looking at the draft order for this year, the Mets lost 10 spots on their first round due to their over cap payroll.  If thats going to be a regular occurrence, then they better start winning with the guys they've got.

For the rest - yes, could be trying to get maximum trade value, but my guess is they still have high hopes that this team will turn around and the guys will start playing up to their potential.  Won't matter if our BP implodes like it did yesterday, but that's the life of a Mets fan.

PS:  Don't see McNeil going anywhere.  His value is at a low for him at the moment, so unless the Mets view this as the start of his regression, then I don't see a trade coming.  The rest, fair game.

I knew that he had some rough patches, but didn't realize that the overall numbers in recent months had looked so Baty (at the mlb level)...I wonder if the winter league excitement followed by the extended ST (due to the WBC) are taking a toll on his endurance...plus I'd imagine that losing his Baby Mets protection and learning LF/2B are helping him struggle at the plate...plus with the hot streak, he's probably got a lot of pitchers/teams looking at his video tapes...
