This is part four of my continuing review of my pre-season ranking of the Mets Top 41 prospects.  Part 1 (36-41) is here, part 2 (31-35) is here and part 3 (26-30) is here.  Among this group, there’s only one guy decidedly up (Beaulac) while Nieuwenhuis is in a similar position he was at the [...]

Friday, Baseball America put SS Reese Havens at #7 on their weekly Hot Sheet for standout prospect performances.
The Scoop: The second of two Mets’ first-round picks last year (22nd overall), Havens has been one of the FSL’s most productive hitters thus far. A lefthanded batter with a grinder mentality, he leads the league with seven [...]

Here’s a look at who’s hot in the Met system:

OF Fernando Martinez, Bisons: He’s hit safely in six of his last seven games and is hitting .323 over that span (10-for-31) with 4 runs and 4 doubles.
LHP Casey Fossum, Bisons (pictured):  The veteran has been phenomenal so far in his first two starts. In 11 [...]

A+: Fort Myers Miracle (1) @ ST. LUCIE METS (8)
LHP Angel Calero continues to impress, this time allowing just one run and four hits – with two walks and three strikeouts – over six innings to get the win (1-0). He has a 0.82 ERA over his first two starts (1 ER / 11.0 IP). [...]

Bats/Throws: L/L
Height/Weight: 6’3”, 170 lbs
Acquired: NDFA (5/12/04)

2008: [...]
