2-10-12 - http://seedlingstostars.com/2012/02/10/s2s-2012-team-prospect-lists-new-york-mets/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter - Outfielder #3: Cesar Puello. Puello is sort of the outfield version of Flores–he’s
just a career .282/.349/.384 hitter, and he struggled in High-A in 2011 (103/18
K/BB), but he’s always been very young for his levels, so he can’t be written
off for poor production. Unlike Flores, Puello is fairly athletic and has some
basestealing ability, but he’s spent most of his career in right field, so his
bat needs to come around. He could figure it out and become a
well-above-average player, or he could hit a wall in Double-A. Grade: B-
David
Wright - It's been a tough couple of years for Wright, yes. He's had
the hole in the swing, and the hole in his back. But the 29-year-old is not
dead yet, and even his most negative projection (ZiPs -- .269/.351/.447 and 19
home runs, 78 RBI and 20 stolen bases) shows great value at a tough infield
position. He's going 33rd, so he has a decent price tag, but that draft
position puts him between Adrian Beltre and Ryan Zimmerman. He'll steal more
bases than both guys combined, and could easily out-homer one of them...
especially if he enjoys better health than the other two veterans. At the right
moment, Wright is right for your fantasy team. http://www.amazinavenue.com/2012/2/14/2795663/fantasy-mets
It’s been an interesting ride, with plenty of great moments,
but the Wilpon/Mets carousel must come to a stop. There are major questions
about your business’ finances, just how much capital is available and who will
take ownership reins from you. I’ve been an ardent support of the ownership and
team for most of the two decades as a member of the Flushing Faithful. I
defended you in years past when others claimed ownership wasn’t spending money
or offered way too much for guys like Pedro. Again, that ship has sailed. Please
do the players, the staff, their families and the fans a huge favor – find
someone younger with deep pockets who cares as much as you have over the years
and sell them the franchise. It’s time to pump fresh blood into the team,
especially when impact prospects are nearing. Don’t the residents of New York
City – one of the biggest cities in the world – deserve a baseball team with
resources to be competitive? http://mets360.com/?p=9361&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Mets360%2Ffeed+%28Mets360+Feed%29
Dillon
Gee:
Sometimes young pitchers can leave you so confused. Dillon Gee falls into that
category. He arrived on the scene last year and impressed everyone with his
poise and command. And then something
happened. It all started in a game against the A’s at CitiField when Gee could
not find the plate with a road map. In subsequent starts, it seemed he began to
overthrow trying to overpower hitters — and that is not his game. He is a
control pitcher that needs precise mechanics to perform well. Now, this could
all be part of the growing pains of a young pitcher. There were times last year
when his control was downright indescribable. Chipper Jones at one point said,
“I don’t know who that kid is but he lives on the outside of the plate and by
lives, I mean he sets up residence there.” http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/02/15/coutinho-the-mets-rotation-a-work-in-progress/
