Top 250 Prospects Update: August 21, 2011


By Bradley O'Neill


Here is this week’s update to the Top 250 Prospect List. The signing deadline has passed, and surprisingly, all the 2011 draftees we listed signed pro contracts. I gave most of the HS draftees a jump because, needless to say, their value increases after officially signing a pro contract. It is worth mentioning—at this point—I think we’re valuing many of the “non-elite” first rounders a little bit low. As we go through the rankings in the off-season, we’ll probably end up valuing several players (i.e., Brandon Nimmo, CJ Cron, etc) higher than many of the struggling prospects. We’ll continue updating throughout the second half of the season, and as always, feedback is appreciated.


55. Matt Harvey—P, Mets

64. Zach Wheeler—P, Mets
 146. Jeurys Familia—P, Mets (+14) - In his last two starts, Familia has surrendered 0 ER’s and 3 hits.

162. Wilmer Flores—SS, Mets
 166. Reese Havens—2B, Mets (+8)
 190. Brandon Nimmo—OF, Mets (+20) - Think you can argue we’re valuing Nimmo too low…high upside but pretty speculative.


196. Lucas Duda—OF, Mets (+4)
 202. Dillon Gee—P, Mets (+16)

220. Jennry Mejia—P, Mets
