for a rotation slot, but expect him to play 2013 in
2.
RHRP – Jenrry
Mejia – A- technically no longer
a prospect, but we list him here because he’s back in AAA learning a new job…

Surprised to see Mejia so far up this list. Poor showing this year out of the pen. I know they're yanking him around - but still. #2 prospect in the organization projects as a relief pitcher? Eh.
Love that the young eta 2015 pitchers are doing so well this season. Would be great if they could pepper the top 100 prospect lists once they hit Lucie/Bing.
I'd like to see Flores traded for a similarly regarded OF prospect at this point. Our OF situation is such a mess.
I keep Mejia because his stuff is still far more elecic than most, and when he has his sink in control, the combo of that and his fastball is unbeatable.
However, I can understand your thoughts. He's dropping.
What do you think about transitioning Flores to the outfield? I hate to see us trade away any good bats, as short as we are on power.
You have to trust me on this.
He can't run. Period.
His reduction of errors on 3B is because it is a position that covers little ground (I was a 3Bman).
It's 3B, 1B, or DH for him (too late for catcher).
