Stock: - Wilmer Flores, Beck Wheeler, Bradley Marquez, Johna Santana, Danny Muno

8-4-11: - Stock Up - Wilmer Flores – Yes, the Mets are still trying to figure out a position for Flores to play, but let’s not forget what Toby Hyde pointed out after Wednesday’s game. Wilmer is ranked fourth in the Florida State League with 69-RBIs… and he’s still only 19-years old (birthday is on Saturday). Last ten games: .353/.410/.647.



8-4-11: - Stock Up – Beck Wheeler – Wheeler pitched in his tenth professional game today and still hasn’t given up a run. To date that makes 15.2 innings pitched with 18 strikeouts. Wheeler was a UDFA signee out of UC Santa Barbara


8-4-11: - Stock Up – Bradley Marquez – The 2011 16th round draft pick has said that his deal with the Mets is now in the hands of the Commissioner awaiting approval. Marquez comes out of Odessa High School in Texas and was thought to be going on to college as a football player; however, it seems he has struck a deal to play for the Mets and still hit the gridiron for Texas Tech.


8-4-11: - Stock Down – Johan Santana – the Mets made the announcement that Santana is suffering from “shoulder fatigue” and will not throw for “a week”. I don’t understand why they just don’t shut this guy down until January when he can start over in extended camp.


8-4-11: - Stock Up – Danny Muno – Muno went into the Thursday Cyclone game with a league leading .447 OBP. He’s been a pleasant surprise this season both with a bat and on the field. Not quite the prospect, but knows how to get on base.
