1. Fernando Martinez | CF | AA | Age – 21 | Drafted – IFA 2005 (B+)
Still the Mets number 1 for me. He is just 21 and put up a great line of .290/.337/.540 in AAA before being called up. If a college draft pick went to AAA and put up that line he would probably be a top 10 prospect and Martinez gets over looked. He was rushed to the bigs, but watch for him in 2010 if he can have a healthy season.
Best Case Outcome – Middle of the order bat with good defense
More Likely Outcome – Solid everyday player with 1-2 all-star appearances
