I like Nimmo -- he gets on base a lot, and has good numbers in AAA (albeit in a hitter friendly league). Interesting to note that he grew up in Wyoming & didn't get to play high school baseball because the school didn't have enough players to field a team. He can play CF, but probably projects as a corner outfielder.

Bruce will be 1st player in MLB history to be traded while leading the league in RBI....

Nimmo was the Mets' #5 prospect entering this season (some had him a bit higher). Here is a quick bio:

 

Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 50 | Run: 50 | Arm: 50 | Field: 50 | Overall: 50

 

In some ways, it seems like Nimmo was drafted a lifetime ago, as a project of a first-round pick out of Wyoming, where he had no high school team. Yet had the Mets been told he'd reach Triple-A and make the 40-man roster following the 2015 season, they'd have been thrilled to hear it.

 

In many ways, Nimmo has exceeded expectations, especially with his approach at the plate. He's had an advanced knowledge of the strike zone since his pro career began and that continued at Triple-A. That should allow Nimmo to continue to hit for average. The big question has been about the power, something that shows up in batting practice regularly and just needs to translate to game play. Nimmo is a solid defender who could play center, then slide over to a corner spot down the road.

 

An offseason left foot injury might slow Nimmo temporarily, but the Mets feel he still has the goods to be a big league regular. Even if the power doesn't come, his table-setting skills will help a Major League team win games. Just 23 for all of the 2016 season, Nimmo received his first big league callup in late June.

Nimmo is part of the deal..

 

Some questions with him, but nice potential.

Nimmo is actually up wth the Mets now. He went 1-3 with an RBI yesterday.

Source says a medical issue might be holding up the Bruce deal between #Mets and #Reds . Stay tuned.

Are you freaking kidding me?

As long as it's not Bruce, if I'm Walt, I start calling the Rangers and Giants immediately.

Wheeler Part Deux?

I think it's Nimmo's foot.

Ugh...

If the Mets would stop trying to trade us injured guys that would be great.

I think it's Nimmo's foot.

 

The Rangers and Giants were trying to make final offers once it became apparent they were close with the Mets. If I'm Walt, I call each, ask them for their best offer, and tell the Mets "sorry, not sorry".

What in the world??? I didn't even know this was possible

Not yet sure how reworked #Marlins-#Padres deal will look. Told that MIA is “trading” Rea back to SD, keeping Cashner.

 

Interesting
