My Favorte NYM Prospects


This post is different from my "Top 10 Underrated Prospects." This list is specifically for the purpose of showing some love for my current favorite Mets prospects. I will pick 2 players from every position and I would also list my top 5. To the right of the players name is what I hope his stat line will be if he ever reaches the MLB level for a full season (Players Potential Ceiling).. Here it goes..

Catchers:
  1. Albert Cordero .300/.350/.450 20 HR 30 2B
  2.  Fransisco Pena .275/.350/.475 25 HR 40 2B
First Baseman:
  1. Lucas Duda .315/.400/.550 40 HR 30 2B
  2. Josh Satin  .280/.340/.410 15 HR 35 2B
Second Baseman:
  1. Reese Havens .320/.400/.500 30 HR 40 2B
  2. Jordanny Valdespin .310/.375/.400 10 HR 30 2B
Shortstops:
  1. Wilmer Flores .330/.420/.550 35 HR 45 2B
  2. Robbie Shields .300/.370/.400 15 HR 30 2B
Third Baseman:
  1. Aderlin Rodriguez .290/.380/.500 30 HR 40 2B
  2. Jefry Marte .280/.370/.450 25 HR 40 2B
Left Fielders:
  1. Fernando Martinez .310/.380/.460 25 HR 40 2B
  2. Corey Vaughn .300/.400/.550 40 HR 40 2B
Center Fielders:
  1. Darrell Ceciliani .340/.410/.450 20 HR 35 2B 10 3B
  2. Cesar Puello .320/.390/.475 25 HR 35 2B 10 3B
Right Fielders:
  1. Kirk Nieuwenhuis .275/.420/.450 25 HR 45 2B 10 3B
  2. Matt Den Decker .285/.375/.425 15 HR 35 2B 15 3B
Just a reminder, these are only projections, if the player reaches his FULL potential and they cannot be proven accurate. But who knows? Maybe i'll be right on a couple of these, but im most likely being too optimistc for some of these players.

Finally, My Top 5 Favorite NYM Prospects
  1. 2B Reese Havens
  2. OF Corey Vaughn
  3. INF Wilmer Flores
  4. OF Darrell Ceciliani
  5. 3B Aderlin Rodriguez
I think these 5 players can continue producing in the minor leagues and eventually break through with the Mets and be a formitable part of this organization for years to come.
