8-8-11: - http://www.brooklyncyclones.com/news/topstories/index.html?article_id=1204 - TRAVIS TAIJERON - The 18th round selection in the 2011 Draft out of Cal Poly Pomona has been one of the hottest players in the league over the last month. He currently ranks 10th in the NYPL in hitting (.302), third in RBI (33) and home runs (7), is tied for the league lead with 21 extra base hits, and leads the NYPL in slugging (.564). Taijeron has 23 RBI in his last 21 games and is hitting .354 (28-79) since July 17th.
Ruben Tejada:

He’s a good complementary player and not much more than that. In 396 at-bats with the Mets, Tejada has batted .232 to go along with a career OBP of .322. In that time, Tejada has only 19 extra-base hits (one home run) for an incredibly weak .607 OPS. It’s also not like Tejada offsets his lack of power for speed, as he has only three career stolen bases
Brad Holt:

He was great in his first few starts, but then came the wildness. He totally lost command of the strike zone and never found it again. He was relegated to the bullpen where he has been much better. It doesn’t look like this former first round pick will ever be more than a reliever at this point. - Started 2011: Double-A Currently: Double-A
Mike Baxter:
8-11-11: - http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/2011/08/11/2011-08-11_homecoming_king_baxter_makes_first_start.html - Mike Baxter was born in 1984, so when he worked in the outfield before Wednesday night's game with Mookie Wilson, it wasn't quite the dream-affirming experience that it might have been had the newest Met been a few years older. Baxter grew up in Whitestone, Queens, and his favorite Met was John Olerud, in part because the first baseman took the same train to Shea that Baxter took to school at Archbishop Molloy. -
Nadir Crismatt

Crismatt showed signs of development after a few months of his arrival in DR. As his arm strength and off-speed pitches developed he was selected to play in the DPL. Presently Crismatt doesn’t light up the radar gun but he works with command and pitch ability at 86-89mph, he spins his Curveball well and his Change-up is effective.
