Baseball America: New York Mets Top 20 Prospects


NEW YORK METS
Graduates:0
Full-season prospects:4
Short-season/Rookie-level prospects:2
• Jeurys Familia (ranked 13th in Eastern League)
• Matt Harvey (ranked 2nd in Florida State League)
• Zack Wheeler (ranked 4th in California League)
• Wilmer Flores (ranked 20th in Florida State League)
• Danny Muno (ranked 18th in New York-Penn League)
• Rafael Montero (ranked 20th in Gulf Coast League)

Last year's Mets Top 10 had the potential for a lot of upside but instead things went the other way. Harvey and Flores cracked League Top 20 lists and outfielder Lucas Duda graduated, but the rest of the group had disappointing and/or injury-riddled 2011 seasons. The team added righthander Zack Wheeler by trading outfielder Carlos Beltran to the Giants at the deadline and has first-round outfielder Brandon Nimmo.
