Geoff pointed out this afternoon that Jeremy's San Antonio team has a three day series with the Drillers starting tonight. Jeremy with a chance to play in Tulsa again!

Jeremy pitched for the San Antonio Missions this past weekend. He pitched fairly well, gave up two runs on a homer, but settled down for the balance of his time in the game. The team wound up loosing, but Jeremy pitched well.

Jeremy and Jerry have become good friends. Nice to see the Alum connection is alive and well.

Jeremy has a little boy named Jace and a puppy named Ace........ When Jeremy makes it to the show... I think Ace Hardware has a shoe in for a pro mo. LOL

Good to see Jeremy making the post-season All-Star team in the Texas League. Hope that this will get him a promotion to AAA next season and possibly a chance at the 40-man roster.

Mets claim Hefner (MLB.com)


NEW YORK -- The Mets announced Monday that they have claimed right-handed pitcher Jeremy Hefner off waivers from the Pirates and added him to their 40-man roster. The team has also signed left-handed pitcher Garrett Olson and catcher Lucas May to Minor League contracts, and invited both to Spring Training.
Hefner, 25, posted a 9-7 record and a 4.98 ERA for San Diego's Triple-A Tucson affiliate last season, ranking sixth in the Pacific Coast League with 120 strikeouts in 157 1/3 innings. The Pirates scooped up Hefner after the Padres designated him for assignment following the season, only to cut him less than a month later to make room for other acquisitions.

...

The Mets originally drafted Hefner in the 46th round in 2004, and again in the 48th round in '05, but the right-hander declined to sign on both occasions. Ultimately attending Oral Roberts University and signing with the Padres as a fifth-round pick in 2007, Hefner won San Diego's Minor League Pitcher of the Year Award the following season.

it looks like the mets called up Hefner as an extra arm for today's double header. hopefully it's not a cup of coffee type deal and he gets to stick around.

EDIT: with the Mets down 1-6, Hefner enter enters the game in the 5th. Congrats to ORU's most recent major leaguer!!!

Hefner has pitched 3 innings: 47 pitches with 3 hits and 1 bb - zero runs. Top of the 8th coming up and he is relieved.

My brother who lives in Conneticut and works in the Bronx, listened to the game and said the announcers were impressed with hefner's pitching performance.
