Ike Makes the Full-Year Hot Sheet

Ike is number 19 on the final hotsheet, which is the hot sheet that covers the full year. Very impressive. One of the top 20 most impressive minor league seasons. This doesn't make him one of their top 20 prospects, although they do seem to take age into account (note that Jake Fox didn't make the list).

And Nieuwenhuis made the helium section, after making last 3 straight weekly hot sheets.

And on 9/4 Tejada got an honorable mention, noting that at 19 he led EL SS in assists and putouts and his bat heated up in August.

A great season for the Mets farm system even if the teams themselves didn't play well.

I'd like to point out here that Kirk's father says it's pronounced "New-in-HICE"

as opposed to what I’ve been saying the past two weeks (New-in-house) or my god awful first attempt (Nyeu-en-hyu-is)
Here’s some quotes from the accompanying chat, and a few in the past:
[when asked if Davis was a future everyday 1B and/or All-Star]

“Definitely. I watched him take BP for Team USA before they left for the World Cup (I believe they’re on MLB Network right now) and he showed more raw power than anyone else there, including Justin Smoak and Pedro Alvarez. It’s not a simple swing, but he’s produced this year and there’s plenty of raw power there.”

“A 24th-round pick last year from The Pendleton School in Bradenton, Fla., [Kyle] Allen is an athletic 6-foot-3 righty who’s enjoyed a strong first full season. He already throws a plus changeup and, according to the Mets, he’s added 3 mph to his fastball this year to sit in the low-90s. He, Familia and Robert Carson are the starters from that staff who get mentioned the most.”

[referring to Kirk Niuwenhuis’ chances of being a future starter]
