They have already welcomed Ike Davis, son of Ron Davis. He got a slow start in his power production, going homerless in his first 215 at bats. With the Mets, he is only hitting .261, but he has six homeruns and has given Met fans reasons to smile after watching previous phenom Fernando Martinez spend his career on the disabled list. Jenrry Mejia is being wasted in the bullpen, but perhaps the Mets have rotation plans for him in the future. It’s not like they don’t have room for him in the rotation. Wilmer Flores is a player to keep your eyes on, though the betting wager is that he won’t come up as the Mets shortstop. They call him a Miguel Cabrera clone. It’s hard to believe that Cabrera came up from Venezuela as a shortstop. Wilmer is currently hitting .289 with five homeruns in the South Atlantic League. - link
More On Mets Prospects:
Fernando Martinez and Wilmer Flores are the Mets top two prospects and current big-league reliever/future starter Jenrry Mejia may not be an asset GM Omar Minaya is willing to part with for a couple months of Lee. And, of course, the Mets have to stay in the race. They sit five back right now, but are in last place in the National League East. Other prospects that could become involved include catcher Josh Thole, second baseman Reese Havens, and lefty Brad Holt. Flores, however, may be the next gem of their organization and would be a steep price to pay considering the contractual parameters of the player coming back. - link
Brandon Moore:
RHP - Brandon is the righthanded version of Mark, though he is much lighter in weight. Last year he was 6-3, 2.09, but missing out on making the All Star team. This year with Savannah he is 2-3, 1.92 with an impressive 6/67 walk to K ratio in 52 innings. He was drafted two rounds after Mark Cohoon.- link
Jeff Flagg:
1B - At 6′6″ Jeff is a big dude who can mash. He pulverized the ball for 10 bombs last year, also hitting .301. He did return to the bench after striking out 71 times after only 57 games last year. At Savannah he is still swinging and missing (40 K’s in 27 games), scuffling to find his stroke (.162) with only one homerun. He almost has as many walks (11) as hits (17). - link
Alonzo Harris:
2B - Harris showed a mixture of power (10 homeruns) and speed (15 stolen bases). He also showed a propensity to swing and miss, though not to the extreme of Flagg. This has allowed him to have a little better success at Savannah (.250), though like Flagg he has been restricted to just one homerun.- link
