Yesterday, at MLB.com, Jonathan Mayo wrote up his review of the Mets farm system in 2009. He wrote in part,
On the field, there were some signs of life from a system that hasn’t provided a whole lot of help in New York of late.
Mayo pointed to the development of Ike Davis, Reese Havens and Kirk Nieuwenhuis from the 2008 draft, and Jenrry Mejia and Wilmer Flores from the international signings as positive developments.
Mayo plays a difficult game where he picks a Preseason Player and Pitcher of the Year. He picked Flores and RHP Brad Holt, while his post-season selections are 1B Ike Davis and RHP Jeurys Familia – the two guys the Mets tabbed for the organization-wide Sterling Awards.





Just a thought/observation. We get excited about Davis’s bat, I feel like we are forgetting about his defense as well. If I am not mistaken, didn’t he only commit one error in 2008 and be in the top of the league for % this year? I might be wrong. But nice to see he won’t be a liability with the glove with a good bat.
