1. Cliff Lee – Lee is by far the best pitcher in the group and having a fantastic season. He had a late start to his season because of an injury, but he is already 5-3 on a really bad … Continue reading
Mets Finally Demote Mejia to Binghamton
After setting back Jenrry Mejia‘s development curve for almost no reason the Mets have finally decided to demote the 20-year-old to Double-A Binghamton in order to stretch him out as a starter and plan to call up Bobby Parnell from … Continue reading
Mets Get Smart? Mejia to the Minors?
In his post game interview Jerry Manuel hinted that Jenrry Mejia could be sent down to the minor leagues in order to be stretched out as a starter.
“We’ll have to see obviously what direction we go, and then that will … Continue reading
This is Why the Mets’ Front Office Sucks
Some of the moves the Mets in recent history have made have been just flat out confusing (who signs a 32-year-old 2nd baseman, whose been on the decline, with TERRIBLE knees to a 4 year deal?) But that is not even what I am talking about. Their treatment of young players is just horrendous. Just look at the Health Bell situation. Couldn’t make up their mind on what to do with a young kid with talent which caused his results to suffer. He finally gets a STEADY role with the Padres and becomes and All-Star closer.
In present times they are just making themselves look silly. Just about a week ago we got the humorous story about how great New York Mets’ front office communication is. This story just hit home for me. As a Met fan I try to stay positive, support the team, and ignore the public perception of them but they make it near impossible. How can a GM and manager be so far apart on the outlook of the team and make comments like this just hours apart? It really makes you question if anybody knows what they are doing. Continue reading
Mets Top 50 Prospects: Prospects 1-10
For an overview of the process I use to grade players, the factors I use in determining where a player ranks, and other frequently asked questions, please click here. All grades are subject to change.You can find a full listing of the Top 50 Prospects of 2010 Archive Page. I will be releasing the rest of the list soon.
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
[table id=5 /]2. Jenrry Mejia | SP | AA | Age – 20 | Drafted – IFA 2006 (B+)
Jenrry Mejia Is a Fast Riser
Baseball America recently wrote an article about fast risers and fallers in the minor leagues for the half way point of the season listing Jenrry Mejia in the heated up portion of the article writing:
Jenrry Mejia, rhp, Mets: He’s just 19 but already has pushed his way to Double-A, using a 98 mph fastball and drawing Edwin Jackson comparisons.
Mets Pitching Prospects Go Down With Injuries

Two Mets Make Futures Game
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. To see the rest of the roster you can click here.

St. Lucie Announces 6 FSL All-Stars
The Mets announced starting pitchers Eric Niesen, Brad Holt, and Jenrry Mejia, catcher Francisco Pena, shortstop Reese Havens, and outfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis to represent the Mets in the Florida State League All-Star Game. Starting pitchers Brad Holt and Jenrry Mejia were selected, but will not attend because of their promotions to AA Binghamton.
….Reese Havens may also miss the game because of injury, but what I want to know is how can Pena make it over Ike Davis? I really don’t know, but Ike just keep it up…. Continue reading
