Matt Harvey:
8-11-11: - http://metsmerizedonline.com/2011/08/baseball-americas-mets-top-10-list-prior-to-2011-where-are-they-now.html - SP – Matt Harvey: Hes pitched like a potential top of the rotation starter that some project him to be. He dominated the low minors and forced his promotion to Double-A. After initially struggling at the next level, he has returned to dominance his last few starts. Harvey is showing more and more why he is the crown jewel of the system right now. Started 2011: Single-A Currently: Double-A
Robert Carson:
8-14-11: - http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/mets/post/_/id/32042/projected-prospect-call-ups - ROBERT CARSON, lhp (3-11, 4.85 in 21 starts with Binghamton): The most unexpected choice assuming he is in fact promoted, Carson likely would help as a southpaw in the bullpen. He threw 94-95 mph during his last outing with the B-Mets, but tended to be up in the strike zone, where more discerning major league hitters could give him problems. Left-handers are hitting .295 and right-handers .304 against Carson this season. Carson is a 14-round pick in 2007 out of high school in Hattiesburg, Miss.
Mark Cohoon:

By just looking at his numbers, 21-7 with a 2.42 ERA combined and a near 4:1 SO/BB ratio in his first three years, all by the age of 22, fans would think Cohoon is the best prospect in the New York Mets’ organization. That is, however, until you look at his most important statistic: velocity. That number sits at sub-90 miles-per-hour and brings notice to the old adage in the scout game: Your only as good a prospect as the zip on your fastball. Scouts’ prospect lists are littered with pitchers who’ve achieved nothing but can throw the heater 95 miles-per-hour. After all, scouts will tell you that a pitcher can be taught a breaking ball or changeup, but you can’t teach them how to throw 95
Rylan Sandoval:
8-15-11: - http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110815&content_id=23238572&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_opotw - St. Lucie - .524/.630/1.143, 7 G, 11-for-21, 4 2B, 3 HR, 11 RBI, 6 R, 5 BB, 2 K - The Mets won five of their seven games this week, thanks in large part to the emerging bat of second baseman Rylan Sandoval. After going 0-for-2 on Monday, he homered, doubled and drove in a combined five runs as St. Lucie swept a doubleheader against Jupiter on Wednesday -- Sandoval's 24th birthday. He went 3-for-4 with four more RBIs on Thursday, missing the cycle by a triple, and added a solo shot against Charlotte on Saturday. Sandoval had collected no more than six RBIs in any full month prior to August; he has 13 in his first 11 games of this month.

Being placed in the closer role early on, this 6’1″ RHP from The Woodlands, Texas, is showing the Mets were very shrewd to keep tabs on this guy, and get him signed once the draft concluded. For Kingsport he has gone: 0-1 with a 2.50 ERA, and 7 saves, in 14 games, covering 18 IP. He has allowed 18 hits and three walks while striking out 16. His WHIP is 1.17.
