| No. 1 WILMER FLORES, SS |
SAVANNAH |
 Team: Savannah Sand Gnats (LoA)Age: 18 Why He’s Here: .370/.393/.815 (10-for-27), 2 HR, 5 R, 13 RBI, 1 BB, 5 K The Scoop: Flores is in the middle of a huge power surge that we never got to see in 2009. Last year he hit 3 home runs for the year and he had 2 last week. He’s had great pitch recognition all season and it looks like he is finally seeing the right pitch to hit and driving it hard and far. More impressive than his home runs is probably the 6 doubles and 13 RBI’s. |

| No. 2 KIRK NIEUWENHUIS, CF |
BINGHAMTON |
 Team: Binghamton Mets (AA) Age: 22 Why He’s Here: 355/.375/.613 (11-for-31), 1 HR, 6 R, 5 RBI, 1 BB, 6 K The Scoop: Captain Kirk has been hot all season and it didn’t stop this week. He’s getting hits, hitting for power, scoring runs, and driving in runs. The only thing he isn’t doing is demonstrating his above-average speed. He only has 1 SB on the season and no triples. On the plus side he has cut his K’s down by nearly 7%. |

| No. 3 PEDRO ZAPATA, CF |
SAVANNAH |
 Team: Savannah Sand Gnats (LoA)Age: 22 Why He’s Here: .414/.485/.483 (12-for-29), 2 2B, 9 R, 4 RBI, 3 SB, 4 BB, 5 K The Scoop: Zapata is a tall guy, but doesn’t have much power and has to rely on his plus speed. The difference he made this week was better plate discipline. He only struck out 1 more time than he walked. Looked like a great table setter with the 3 steals and 9 runs. |

| No. 4 JAMES FULLER, LHP | SAVANNAH |
 Team: Savannah Sand Gnats (LoA)Age: 22 Why He’s Here: 2-0, 1.90 ERA, 14.2 IP, 14 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 12 SO The Scoop: The undersized lefty is having great success in LoA Savannah. He gave up a little too many hits this week, but he counter acted that with superb command. He only walked 2 batters this week and has 4 walks in 28 IP on the season to go along with striking out nearly a batter per inning. |

| No. 5 ALONZO HARRIS, 2B |
SAVANNAH |
 Team: Savannah Sand Gants (LoA)Age: 20 Why He’s Here: .360/.360/.600 (9-for-25), 1 2B, 1 3b, 1 HR. 4 R, 7 RBI, 5 K The Scoop: Yet another member from the Savannah team on the hot list. Harris demonstrated his great power with a homer and double and great speed with a triple and stolen base. Also on display, however, was his terrible discipline. He doesn’t know how to take a walk and swings at anything near the plate. Still raw, but very talented. |

| No. 1 RICHARD LUCAS, 3B |
ST. LUCIE |
 Team: St. Lucie Mets (HiA)Age: 21 Why He’s Here: .053/.182/.053 (1-for-19), 1 R, 3 BB, 6 K The Scoop: Can you do much worse? About the only positive thing he did was have a decent walk rate. This is a really big bummer as Lucas was off to a hot start before getting into this ice age. |
|
| 2010 Stats | |
| No. 2 EDDIE KUNZ, RHP |
BINGHAMTON |
 Team: Binghamton Mets (AA)Age: 24 Why He’s Here: 0-1, 11.25 ERA, 4 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 4 BB, 3 SO The Scoop: Just as expected Kunz’s shift into the rotation hasn’t gone smoothly at all. If anyone expects to give up a hit and walk per inning and be successful then you are just crazy. He should be moved back to the pen ASAP where maybe he can give you a very very little something. |

| No. 3 JEFF FLAGG, 1B |
SAVANNAH |
 Team: Savannah Sand Gnats (LoA) Age: 24 Why He’s Here: .136/.240/.182 (3-for-22), 1 R, 2 RBI, 3 BB, 8 K The Scoop: A 6’6 250 lbs 24-year-old slugging what in LoA? Yeah, he has definitely made himself into a non prospect at this point. He can’t hit for average or power, get on base, and swings at pitchers further out of the zone than Vlad Guerrero. |

| No. 4 ERIC NIESEN, SP |
BINGHAMTON |
 Team: Binghamton Mets (AA)Age: 24 Why He’s Here: 0-1, 5.29 ERA, 2 GS, 5.1 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 5 BB, 6 SO The Scoop: The man has great stuff as is seen with his great K numbers, but his control seems to get worse with time. I don’t think anybody has ever questioned his stuff, but he has yet to answer those doubters about his ability to throw strikes. And 5 innings in 2 games. That’s worse than John Maine! |

| No. 5 BRAHIAM MALDONADO |
BINGHAMTON |
 Team: Binghamton Mets (AA)Age: 24 Why He’s Here: .105/.261/.158 (2-for-19), 2 R, 4 BB, 5 K, 2 SB The Scoop: The transition to AA did not go smooth at all for Maldonado. He was only able to manage two hits, but he did demonstrate good patience and speed. He is not one of my favorite prospects by any stretch, but he still has some potential and this week looks pretty fluky. |

41. Armando Rodriguez | SP | LoA | Age – 22 | Drafted – IFA 2007
This is a severe injustice ranking Rodriguez so low. He is probably going to sky rocket up the list this year working his way into possibly the teens.
Perfect World Projection – MLB Starter
More Likely Outcome – Middle relief
| TEAM | W-L | ERA | G/GS | IP | SO | BB | GB% | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kingsport Mets | 3-1 | 3.08 | 9/9 | 45.2 | 36 | 20 | 40% | 2.96 |

42. Alonzo Harris | 2B | LoA | Age – 21 | Drafted – 39th Round 2007 (C-)
We already knew he had above average speed, but last year he showed a lot more pop then expected. His game is very raw, but he has loads of potential.
Perfect World Projection – Good offensive MLB 2nd baseman
More Likely Outcome – Career minor leaguer
| TEAM | AB | R | 2B | HR | RBI | .AVG | .OBP | .SLG | .BABIP | .ISO |

43. Chase Greene | CF | GCL | Age – 20 | Drafted – 16th Round 2009 (C-)
Great athlete who was bought out of a college commitment. Reminds me a bit of Red Sox’s prospect Ryan Kalish. Hopefully he can have a similar development.
Perfect World Projection – Average MLB center fielder
More Likely Outcome – 4th outfielder
| TEAM | AB | R | 2B | HR | RBI | .AVG | .OBP | .SLG | .BABIP | .ISO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GCL Mets | 63 | 8 | 7 | 0 | 5 | .286 | .361 | .397 | .333 | .111 |

44. Lucas Duda | 1B | AA | Age – 20 | Drafted – 7th Round 2007 (C-)
Has a line drive swing that has enabled him to maintain a high BABIP for his career and knows how to draw a walk, but hasn’t shown enough power to be a first baseman despite great size.
Perfect World Projection – MLB 1st baseman (Sean Casey type)
More Likely Outcome – Bench player
| TEAM | AB | R | 2B | HR | RBI | .AVG | .OBP | .SLG | .BABIP | .ISO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Binghamton Mets | 395 | 49 | 29 | 9 | 53 | .281 | .380 | .428 | .340 | .147 |

45. Yohan Almonte | SP | Rk | Age – 20 | Drafted – IFA 2007 (C-)
Another young armed probably ranked a tad too low with great sleeper potential. His peripherals were great last year and was even a bit unlucky with a high BABIP and low FIP compared to his ERA. I will be interested to see where he goes in 2010.
Perfect World Projection – MLB starter
More Likely Outcome – Middle relief
| TEAM | W-L | ERA | G/GS | IP | SO | BB | GB% | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GCL Mets | 1-0 | 1.37 | 5/5 | 19.2 | 20 | 2 | 56% | 1.47 |

| TOTAL | 4-1 | 3.47 | 13/13 | 62.2 | 57 | 10 | 61% | 2.48 |
46. Julio Concepcion | OF | AA | Age – 20 | Drafted – IFA 2006 (C-)
Big toolsy outfield with a lot of speed and developing power. If he can add muscle onto his lanky frame he can develop into a legitimate prospect.
Perfect World Projection – MLB outfielder
More Likely Outcome – Career minor leaguer
| TEAM | AB | R | 2B | HR | RBI | .AVG | .OBP | .SLG | .BABIP | .ISO |

47. Josh Stinson | RP | HiA | Age – 22 | Drafted – 37th Round 2007 (C-)
Stinson was lights out as a reliever last your, but I’m just not into ranking someone who will max out as a reliever too high.
Perfect World Projection – Set up man
More Likely Outcome – Middle relief
| TEAM | W-L | ERA | G/GS | IP | SO | BB | GB% | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Savannah Sand Gnats | 2-2 | 3.61 | 25/1 | 42.1 | 49 | 10 | 46% | 2.18 |
| St. Lucie Mets | 3-1 | 1.98 | 25/0 | 36.1 | 35 | 19 | 62% | 2.84 |
| TOTAL | 5-3 | 2.88 | 50/1 | 78.2 | 84 | 29 | 56% | 2.33 |
48. Roy Merritt | RP | AA | Age – 24 | Drafted – 29th Round 2007 (C-)
I liked Merritt when I watched him, but his average at best fastball leaves a lot to be desired.
Perfect World Projection – LOOGY
More Likely Outcome – LOOGY
| TEAM | W-L-SV | ERA | G/GS | IP | SO | BB | GB% | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Binghamton Mets | 4-5-14 | 3.45 | 56/0 | 62.2 | 56 | 25 | 44% | 4.41 |
| TOTAL | 4-5-14 | 3.45 | 56/0 | 62.2 | 56 | 25 | 44% | 4.41 |
49. Stefan Welch | 3B | LoA | Age – 21 | Drafted – IFA 2006 (C-)
I have a special spot for the lanky Aussie. Is decent at everything, but hasn’t really shown any plus tools as of yet.
Perfect World Projection – Bench player
More Likely Outcome – AAAA Player
| TEAM | AB | R | 2B | HR | RBI | .AVG | .OBP | .SLG | .BABIP | .ISO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Savannah Sand Gnats | 92 | 7 | 3 | 2 | 10 | .239 | .271 | .359 | .282 | .120 |
| St. Lucie Mets | 216 | 38 | 10 | 5 | 37 | .278 | .350 | .412 | .313 | .134 |
| TOTAL | 308 | 45 | 12 | 7 | 47 | .266 | .329 | .396 | .304 | .130 |
50. Chris Schwinden | SP | LoA | Age – 23 | Drafted – 22nd Round 2008 (C-)
Another personal favorite I saved for the last spot. Fringe fastball, but decent off speed offerings and good command have gotten him by so far. I don’t see him facing any problems in St. Lucie, but Binghamton will be the real challenge.
Perfect World Projection – Innings eater
