From Complex To Queens, Episode 294: Early victory laps

It’s time to prematurely pat ourselves on the back while reviewing some early season performances.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.

As is our MO, we start on the negative side of things. The early performances from most of the guys we chose as our personal follows for this season have not been great; aside from Ronny Mauricio finally returning to game action in extended spring training, everyone else is scuffling. We spend the first half of the show discussing those slow starts, as well as slow starts for Jonah Tong and Brandon Sproat.

Don’t worry though, we bring it back with a whole bunch of positives. Both of us really liked Ryan Lambert, and he looks like a dude not who just need a promotion but who could actually help the major league team this year. Zach Thornton probably should be promoted out of Brooklyn as well. We’re a little more dubious on Jacob Reimer without batted ball data, but there’s some reason for optimism. Jack Wenninger and AJ Ewing look really promising. And of course, Lukas takes a victory lap on Chris Suero, who has been on fire to start the year.
