New York Mets Minor League Baseball Commentary and Analysis

Kevin Goldstein put out his list of the Mets top eleven prospects last week and I always like his list best because it’s the most sabermetrically leaning list. There’s some nice talent at the top, but after that things thin out quick. Number one is the lone five star prospect, Jennry Mejia. The righthander made five different minor league stops and then he got into 33 games for the Mets. Goldstein sees Mejia spending most of his time at Triple A and he likes his chances of being in the Mets rotation in 2012.
The Mets 2010 first round pick, Matt Harvey is the lone four star prospect. He signed too late to pitch in 2010 and he should start at St. Lucie. He needs to work on his command but the guy throws hard and I look forward to tracking this guy too.
Shortstop Wilmer Flores comes in at number three and he’s the top three star prospect. He had a solid season splitting time between Low-A and High-A and it’ll be interesting to see what happens with Rafael Furcal and whether Flores will have room to move up. Cesar Puello (outfielder, a couple of years away) and Kirk Nieuwenhuis (outfielder, major league ready) round out the top five.
