Nelson Figueroa, Lehigh Valley - 2-0, 0.00 ERA, 2 G, 2 GS, 12 2/3 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 5 BB, 14 K - Nelson Figueroa, who ended up in the Phillies system after the Mets put him on the waiver before Opening Day, looked just fine in his first two Minor League outings of 2010. He pitched six innings of two-hit ball against Charlotte on Monday. Facing the Mets affiliate Bisons in Buffalo on Sunday, Figueroa exacted a bit of revenge. He struck out six, scattering five hits and a walk over six shutout innings to earn his second Triple-A win in as many chances. The 36-year-old righty was 1-1 with a 4.82 ERA over nine Major League appearances this season, but considering the way he's throwing the ball in the IL, he's likely to have an opportunity to improve upon those numbers by the end of the summer. - link
South Atlantic League - Mark Cohoon, Savannah - 1-0, 0.00 ERA, 1 G, 1 GS, 1 CG, 1 SHO, 9 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 5 K - Mets prospect Mark Cohoon receives his second consecutive Sally League Pitcher of the Week award. The last guy to do that? Madison Bumgarner. Cohoon sealed the deal by tossing yet another nine-inning, complete-game shutout, his second in as many starts. The 2008 first-rounder perplexed the Grasshoppers in Greensboro, taking a perfect game into the fifth inning and allowing just three hits over the course of his day's work. He struck out five and walked one, and he improved to 6-1 with a league-best 1.44 ERA. His only loss came in mid-May, and the last time he allowed an earned run was on May 22.-

But I'm going with Davis (born March 22, 1987) because he's been playing both sides of the ball pretty well and he's been doing it in New York City. Say what you want about the Metropolitans playing second fiddle to the Yankees in New York, that's still a pretty big fiddle. The new first baseman has handled the job well—.254 BA, .783 OPS, 48 Ks, and 23 BB in 173 AB. Those numbers won't floor anyone, but the kid was brought into a hostile situation and expected to help redirect the offense. He's played a part there and all under the microscope of the biggest media market in the country. To me, that looks like the beginning of a stellar pedigree. - link
RHP, University of Georgia: Can hit 95 MPH and has a nasty slider, but problems with command and control prevented him from being successful in college. He might do better against wooden bats in the pros. His arm strength is unusually good for a college senior, but he's also unusually raw for that category. link
RHP : Like many Mets pitching prospects, Allen has put together several good looking statistical years in the minors, but suffered from serious control problems in 2010, seeing how he walked more than he struck out. His control however, was spot-on the previous two seasons. It only shows that he isn’t ready to move up. Allen would noticeably not give up the big hits in the past, so expect him to land a relief job on the Mets, similar to the way Joe Smith did so a few years back. He’s 20, so Mets fans will likely see him work out of the bullpen in 2013.- link
