We live in a sports world that is fascinated with listing things, and the listing of minor-league prospects is near the top of everyone’s favorites. With the newest prospect list to surface Frank Piliere, of fanhouse.com, has listed his Top 100 Prospects. Mets prospects on Piliere’s list include (with analysis):

Jennry Mejia (#23)-The Skinny: Mejia looks like of one of the most exciting pitching prospects the Mets have had in quite some time. He can reach the upper 90s with his fastball and has learned to pitch effectively and more frequently with his secondary pitches. The Mets will try to take it slow with this powerful young arm. We could see him in 2011.

Fernando Martinez (#33)-The Skinny: Martinez might be the victim of the high expectations of New York fans. It’s easy to forget that he is still just 21 years old. Did the Mets rush him? Maybe. Martinez still has the offensive tools to be an impact-type player, so the word here is patience.

Ike Davis (#58)-no analysis.

Let’s just say that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but this list differs from popular opinions. It is what it is though, and it creates many topics of discussion. One thing I point out is, how in the world is Austin Jackson a better OF prospect than Fernando Martinez.
