Still in A ball at age 24 probably means we won't see him in the majors, but playing pro ball at any level is damn impressive. Hope he makes it.

Then again, it is the Mets, so he may be starting on Wednesday for them.

On the plus side, Chism is in High Single A, he's a relief pitcher- and teams seem to run through them rapidly- and he is in the Mets organization. It would be nice if (somewhat like Tyler Cloyd) he made it up to the Major Leagues at least briefly (say for the fabled cup of coffee), perhaps even when the Mets are the visiting team in Philadelphia.

What kind of stuff does Chism have? With Christensen's, I can't imagine him ever making the bigs unless ROOGYs come into vogue.

Here's a last year's svcoutung report from Scoutingbook.com
The Book on TJ Chism
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prospect Info and Scouting Report
TJ Chism / LHP, NYM
Born 8/9/1988 (24 yrs old)
Brookhaven, PA, USA
School: La Salle
Height 5-10
Weight 190
Bats/Throws L/L
951 | 4/29/2013
Total professional innings pitched: 143.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A two-way player at La Salle University who has since hung up his bat, lefthander TJ Chism mixes good control with quality stuff. An exclusive reliever since turning pro, Chism used his fastball and slurvy curve to put together a very impressive 2012 season at A-level Savannah, striking out 42 hitters while walking only 13 in 50 innings of work (1.14 WHIP). He's not one of the team's top prospects, but he's definitely on the radar as a future bullpen option in Flushing.
