He has proven to have enough arm strength (1.95-2.10 pop time) and defensive skills behind the plate to stick at the position, although his bat will find him a spot in the line up. Dionis is a solid hitter with gap to gap power, he was selected to both DPL All-Star games this season, showing hitting ability and power potential.
Jenrry Mejia:
8-11-11: - http://metsmerizedonline.com/2011/08/baseball-americas-mets-top-10-list-prior-to-2011-where-are-they-now.html - SP – Jenrry Mejia: Coming in Mejia was the best prospect in the Mets farm system. He pitched out of the bullpen in 2010, which in my opinion was a huge mistake. It happened because Manuel and Minaya were desperate to keep their jobs, and with little no bullpen help he pitched his way onto the roster for opening day. He struggled, and was sent down and eventually lost due to the questionable back and forth decision making from the Minaya regime. Started 2011: #1 Starter in AAA Currently: lost for the season after Tommy John Surgery
Colin McHugh:
8-12-11: - http://nybaseballdigest.com/?p=38516 - McHugh worked the fastball in and out, showing good command. But the pitch that garnered the most swings and misses was a slow, downward breaking curve ball, thrown at 72-74 and used primarily with two strikes. He did not throw it that often, and you sometimes forgot he had the pitch in his arsenal until he broke it out for a key whiff. McHugh does not have that superb “upside” that so many analysts and scouts love and thrive on, but McHugh does know how to pitch, has good command and does strike guys out, averaging 9.2 K/9 for his pro career. He has started and relieved in most seasons and could make a decent back end of the rotation type pitcher, throwing the ball like a Dillon Gee.
Jordany Valdespin:
8-13-11: - http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prospects/chat/2011/2612220.html - Mike (Colorado): Thanks for the chat JJ. Seeing that Valdespin was recently promoted to AAA and playing SS. Is he the Met's replacement for Reyes at SS if Reyes leaves via FA? … - J.J. Cooper: Valdespin is having a breakout year, but I don't think he's ready to be the shortstop in New York next year if Reyes is gone. He's just too raw. But if you had asked me at this point last year whether Justin Turner could be the team's second baseman, I'd have said no way, so I guess it's possible
David Wright:
8-13-11: - http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/fantasy/article/the-price-is-wright - The first thing one might notice upon glancing at Wright's player stats page is his 162-game average pace numbers: 27 home runs, 22 stolen bases (to six caught stealing, for a 78.6 percent success rate), 103 runs, 107 RBI, .303/.382/.513 (.895 OPS, .386 wOBA, 137 wRC+). While Wright has never played 162 games in a season, he did average 155.8 games between 2005 (his first full season as the Mets' starting third basemen) and 2010, including his concussion-shortened 2009 season (144 games played). From 2005 to 2010, Wright thrice played 160 games, appearing in 154 of the Mets' contests in each season other than 2009. In fact, Wright's first disabled list stint came in 2009, after he was beaned in the head by a 94 mph Matt Cain fastball—something you can hardly call a "chronic" health issue. Back problems are always a worry, but this is the first time Wright has had one, and his disabled list stint this year was only the second of his career.
