Tuesday, Kevin Goldstein at Baseball Prospectus held a prospect chat and took two Mets questions, one on Jenrry Mejia and one on Wilmer Flores.

Rhys (Near Shea): Jenrry Mejia‘s been torched in the AFL. Is he the Mets top pitching prospect?

Kevin Goldstein: He’s easily the Mets top pitching prospect, as the arm is really special, despite the fact
that on the mound, he’s often a bit of a spectacular mess.

Wednesday’s line is a good example: 3 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 3 K leaving his AFL ERA at a swollen 12.56.  On the other hand, according to Gameday, his four-seam fastball was 94-96 with some 97s for good measure. More Mejia later.

Trevor127 (NYC): Kevin, What did scouts have to say about Wilmer Flores this year? Is there a concern about the power if he has to move from shortstop?

Kevin Goldstein: There’s just no way he’s a shortstop in the end, so it’s not an if, it’s a when. Still very talented for his age, so don’t get too crazy.
