Mets Community Prospect List 2010: #14

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Amazin' Avenue Mets Community Prospect List. Every poll will include eight candidates for the next spot on the list, as well as a separate group of testers.  Testers will be rotated into polls with each new installation, replacing each poll's winner and any name that's not getting votes.  After a few rounds, if a candidate on the ballot receives a decidedly low vote total , they'll be replaced on the ballot by a tester.

After the poll, Cory Vaughn is the clear choice for the #13 prospect in the Mets' system with 49% of the votes. Replacing him in the poll is 25 year old Josh Satin. No new testers have been added this round. To recap:

  1. Wilmer Flores
  2. Kirk Nieuwenhuis
  3. Reese Havens
  4. Matt Harvey
  5. Jeurys Familia
  6. Lucas Duda
  7. Darrell Ceciliani
  8. Aderlin Rodriguez
  9. Cesar Puello
  10. Zach Lutz
  11. Dillon Gee
  12. Kyle Allen
  13. Cory Vaughn
  14. ???

Juan Urbina (17) R (G) SP 48.1 IP, 5.03 ERA, 54 H, 14 BB, 38 K, 5 HR

Eric Campbell

Really need Campbell on the poll soon. The guy just hits.

by acerimusdux on Sep 18, 2010 1:49 PM EDT reply actions  

either Cohoon or Rodriguez

They’re really close. They’re the same age, Cohoon walks fewer, strikes out fewer, and is one level closer than Rodriguez, so he gets the slight edge for me.

Ratliff has alot of power, but he also strikes out alot. Additionally, he has not displayed this much power prior to this season.

Marte’s stats are impressive for a 19-year old in the SAL, but I think we’ve all had this discussion with regard to Fernando Martinez for a few years now.

I agree that Campbell probably needs to get on soon. Also Robbie Shields and Brandon Moore.

Ratliff's power

The guy’s power is no joke… He hit for plenty of it in college and had a .180 ISO in Savannah. I believe in the pop but yes the K rate worries me.

A season ago everyone and his/her mother was saying the Mets farm was as barren as an Arab mango farm

Now I look through the farm system and i see too many players with great potential to fit too few ML spots. In 3 years how would an outfield of Duda, Ratliff and Capn Kirk look? That could be the best OF in the NL.

This is a good farm system.

ha

John Olerud, Hall of Famer. Got a nice ring to it.

by squid92 on Sep 18, 2010 4:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

lots of bats

The Mets have some of the best hitting depth of any team. Look around at other teams, you can’t find anyone with as many guys with age appropriate performance.

I think they are still thin though on arms. And still a bit lacking in terms of higher upside top 30 overall type prospects.

by acerimusdux on Sep 18, 2010 5:02 PM EDT up reply actions  

In 2-3 years, I could see two of the OF spots occupied by Puello and Vaughn

and perhaps Ceciliani. Duda, Ratliff and Captain Kirk are also possibilities. We’re really well stocked with OF prospects.

by Russ on Sep 18, 2010 6:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

The upside in the OF definitely looks good.

yeah

remember when we were dreaming about the carlos gomez, milledge, f-mart of?

i’m not holding my breath, especially not for guys who really haven’t proven much above AA and a DH.

by Gina on Sep 18, 2010 8:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

That's why I said "upside"

whether they meet that upside is different.

Yeah yeah

If one of Nieuwenfuss, Ratliff, and Duda turns into an average regular in the OF I’ll be impressed.

Such is the nature of prospects.

by Jack Str on Sep 19, 2010 9:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

how is Kyle Allen #4?

Sad.

er I was so blinded lol

I meant even on the list at #12..and Matt Harvey at #4. I read things far too quickly

"Fantasy, reality, science Fiction. Which is which? Who can tell?"

by feslenraster on Sep 20, 2010 10:29 AM EDT reply actions  

Harvey is #4 because he's our #2 pitching prospect

you got me on Allen though.

Harvey is a top 100 guy

Harvey has a good chance to rank in the top 100 overall. I think he’s definitely one of the top dozen guys out of the last draft.
