Baseball Prospect Rankings for 2012
Matt Harvey - RHP - Currently 42 - The seventh overall pick in the 2010 draft, Matt Harvey is a tall righthander from Mystic, Connecticut who pitched his college ball at UNC, where a few tweaks to his high-school delivery paid off with extra cheese on his...
Zack Wheeler - RHP - Currently - 77 - - It's always nice when you can trade away a fading veteran for a team's top prospect, and that's what the Mets did in acquiring Zack Wheeler from the Giants. A flame-throwing righthander from Georgia, Wheeler mixes his...
Jenrry Mejia - RHP - Currently - 123 - Yes, he's still a prospect. The Mets may not have handled him in the best way possible, yanking him around between the bullpen and rotation as well as up and down the development ladder, but righthander Jenrry ('Henry')...
Reese Havens - SS - Currently - 145 - A successful shortstop in college whose range is a bit of a question in pro ball, South Carolina graduate David (Reese) Havens could make a heck of a second baseman for a future Mets infield that already includes the...
Brandon Nimmo - OF - Currently - 168 - The Mets first round pick (13th overall) in 2011, outfielder Brandon Nimmo didn't get much pro time on the field last season, but should spend most of this year in rookie ball where the teenager will be under close...

Jeurys Familia - RHP - Currently - 186 - A big, durable looking righty, Mets pitcher Jeurys Familia signed as an IFA from Dominica in 2007, and since then has been to visit every development guru on the East Coast, as scouts and coaches all tinker with his...
Cesar Puello - OF - Currently - 200 - A fast, lanky outfielder who signed as an international free agent, Mets prospect Cesar Puello is one of the most promising offensive prospects in the system, and one of the fastest rising. Already finished with rookie...
Wilmer Flores - SS - Currently 245 - It was once very frustrating to be a shortstop prospect in the Mets system, but now that the Jose Reyes era is over, Wilmer Flores is probably having trouble holding in his glee. Flores's 2011 was a full-season grind of...
- It's always nice when you can trade away a fading veteran for a team's top prospect, and that's what the Mets did in acquiring Zack Wheeler from the Giants. A flame-throwing righthander from Georgia, Wheeler mixes his...
I think I have a way the Mets could better use Wilmer, but I doubt they'd do it.
