They put his chances of making the majors at 150/1, which means it would take a $100 bet could pay off at $15,000 if the Mets call him up.

With the rain coming down hard, he started out 2-for-2 Wednesday.

He entered Wednesday batting .230 with a .369 slugging percentage and 14 RBI in 122 at bats.
