Baseball America has announced their annual Future Game rosters and two of the Mets teen sensations have made the game. On the World roster from Valencia, Venezuela Wilmer Flores. Flores I believe is the youngest player in the game. Then hailing from Azua, Dominican Republic ‘the Prodigy’ Jenrry Mejia. It should be exciting to see how these young studs do against the rest of minor leagues best. If you remember last year Fernando Martinez got a single off Trevor Cahill in his one at at-bat.

The Real Dirty Mets Fan – We Did What You Said, Now What?
The one person right now, however, I would not want to be is Omar. Omar has a lot of pressure right now. He knows the fan base desperately wants the team to make the playoffs. He also knows that the farm system that he took over was beyond terrible and has been pillaged already by him in the Santana and Putz trades. We have a few top prospects that will be sought after, the problem is that is basically ALL we have.

The Star Ledger - Jerry Manuel, Omar Minaya, Willie Randolph and a New York Mets fan club at 34,000 feet
34,000 FEET OVER LAKE ERIE — Does anyone fly to Milwaukee when the Mets aren’t playing there? I swear, about 75 percent of the people on this flight are Mets fans. There’s a cluster of about 15 of them sitting in front of me, all traveling together. Firefighters, from what I can tell. Big dudes. I wonder if they can swing a bat. If they can, Jerry Manuel might just try to sneak them into the lineup Monday night at Miller Park, where the Mets will open a three-game series against the Brewers.
NY Post – Rough, Wild Night for K-Rod
The at-bat was just the third of Rivera’s career and he had been 0-for-2. The walk gave him the first RBI of his 15-year career. He previously struck out and flied out. Afterward, Rodriguez said the Rivera walk was a symptom of wildness he’s suffered in his last few appearances. “It’s been the last couple of outings,” Rodriguez said. “I haven’t been able to make pitches when I needed to. I’ve been a little wild out there. I just have to find a way to figure it out quick and make sure tomorrow to watch some tape and find out what I’m doing wrong and make sure tomorrow it won’t happen again.”
Mets Merized Online - Fantasy Focus: Nick Evans – The Second Time Around
With all of our stars sidelined aside from D Wright – it’s been an interesting year for many players in the organization that probably never figured to have an opportunity to play as much as they have in 2009. So continuing our analysis of these role players that have suddenly become so crucial to our fate this season – let’s take a look at Nick Evans – who gets a second chance to prove he belongs in the majors as an important right handed bat in 2009.

Draft Updates, UFA Signed
June 28, 2009 By Leave a Comment
- 42nd round pick Ryan Gunhouse has agreed to play college ball for USC and now has a major bargaining chip against the Mets. It now appears now unless the Mets will have to go way overslot or he will go to college and not sign. If he does decide to go college remember his name because he will be the one “who got away from this draft”.
- Didn’t think the Mets would sign this one, but they were able to sign Nick Santomauro(pictured) away from his senior year at Dartmouth for $82,000. He has some raw talent and can’t wait to see how he looks in Brooklyn.
- The Mets have signed 4th round pick Darrell Ceciliani and two others (James Ewing 12th round, and John Semel[great stats] 26th round). Signing bonus undisclosed (probably 240K). Has been described as a poor man’s Jacoby Ellsbury.
- The Mets have signed undrafted free agent Marshal Davis, ss.
- 30th round pick Jordan Harrison says he will sign for $100K. Let’s just hope the Mets are willing to give the high school lefty the money.
“That was more unexpected than being drafted, because I didn’t even known anybody was there,” Gunhouse said. “They said they had seen my YouTube video and liked my swing.”
The deadline for a drafted player to sign a contract is Aug. 15. Gunhouse said he’ll wait to see what kind of offer New York makes deciding between joining the organization or going to Southern California to play three years of college ball.
“It’s all about if (the Mets) give me enough to make it worth it,” Gunhouse said. “The USC thing kind of helps, cause it gives me more leverage. Either way, I’m sitting pretty.
“It still makes me excited just thinking about it,” said Harrison, who was New Caney’s star pitcher for the past couple years. Harrison, whose fastball has been clocked around 90-miles per hour, had 93 strikeouts in 54 innings during his senior year at New Caney. He features a nasty curveball that was almost unhittable for left-handed hitters. “It is a big advantage being a left-handed pitcher,” Harrison said. “I usually go after left-handers with the curveball. I try and set up the right-handers with a fastball away and then come inside with the four-seem (fastball).” He has not decided whether he is going to attend North Central Texas Junior College in Gainesville, or sign with the Mets. “I told them $100,000, but they haven’t made me an offer yet,” Harrison said. “If I don’t sign, I will go and pitch for North Central and see what happens.” “I am trying to develop a better change-up,” he said. “I also am working on a slider. I really want to be prepared … whichever way I go.”
