Crazy how he completely fell off a cliff after being traded to the Mets

Honeywell is expected to "open" Sunday's game, setting the table for scheduled starter Michael Wacha to take over in the second or third. It will be Honeywell's MLB debut.

 

Honeywell, 26 as of early March, has not pitched in a professional contest since 2017. During his absence, he's required four separate elbow operations, including Tommy John surgery and a procedure to decompress his right ulnar nerve. Honeywell also fractured his arm at one point, resulting in another setback.

 

Prior to those surgeries, Honeywell had been considered one of the league's top pitching prospects. Indeed, he made five consecutive Baseball America top-100 prospect lists, and he peaked at No. 11 on Baseball Prospectus' annual list. It's to be seen if Honeywell's body allows him to ever live up to that promise. MLB.com's Adam Berry reported during that spring that Honeywell's fastball had touched 95 mph and that his changeup "looked like the legitimate weapon it was before."

 

Clean inning, arm still intact. Nice!

Montgomery just beaned Meadows. Looked intentional to me (by the way he lined himself up in his delivery).

 

Might see some fireworks in this game

The Mets and Marlins are in rain delay 2 hitters into the game. The umpiring in that series has been embarrassing.

How exactly is this Bichette's fault?

 

 

Why didn't he start a slide way sooner?

 

Pretty awful baserunning by a veteran player

He wasn't expecting the throw to come to 2nd like most of us. Sucks for him though.

Yankees love getting owned by weak hitting catchers

I just saw a horrible call in the Boston game. Franchy Cordero beat the throw to first by like 2 steps and the ump called him out. Thank god for replay but man that is a truly embarrassing call.

This is what I been waiting for since trading Tucker for him.

JD Martinez 4-5 with 3 dingers. NOT washed up.

I was just coming to post, that it sure looks like he's made the adjustment. I don't think people thought he was washed up though. One bad year in a shortened season, doesn't justify washed up, also having video back helps, he said that hurt him.

There were more than a few articles from pundits questioning if he was done. And he slid a long way down on draft boards.
