1. Stephen Strasburg
2. Buster Posey
3. Dustin Akley
4. Yonder Alonso
5. Josh Bell
HM: Domonic Brown, Starlin Castro, Mike Leake, Jenrry Mejia, Thomas Neal and Jose Tabata
I think the top three on that list are [...]

Update:
Reese Havens goes 3-4 with an opposite field HR today. He lead off the 9th inning with a single, and eventually scored the game winning run. His season totals now stand at .368/.478/.658/1.136 in 38 AB’s.

Reese Havens continues his hot hitting, falling a homerun short of the cycle Wednesday, leading Surprise [...]
After a fully managerially focused morning, lets take a look at one of Tim Teufel’s likely charges with the 2010 Binghamton Mets, 23 year-old SS-2B Reese Havens.
Havens is in Arizona Fall League, but as a member of the taxi squad for the Surprise Rafters, is only eligible to play twice a week, on Wednesday and [...]
Thursday, Jenrry Mejia earned his first win since June 1, back when he was with St. Lucie. He was charged with five runs, four earned, in 3.2 innings, but two of those runs were bequeathed to RHP Josh Stinson, who was very hittable and allowed both to cross the plate. At the request of [...]
Alongside top prospects Ike Davis, Jenrry Mejia and Ike Davis, the Mets also sent unheralded 21-year old RHP Josh Stinson to the Arizona Fall League. After winning the 2006 Sterling Award for the Gulf Coast League, Stinson put up a pair of unremarkable seasons in ’07 and ’08 for Savannah. However, moved to the bullpen [...]
- There’s a nasty cold going around the Surprise Rafter clubhouse. Nick Evans was not at the field on Monday. He reported a temperature over 101 and was told to stay home. Jenrry Mejia’s sickness forced him to miss his start last Friday. Mejia is scheduled to start Thursday against the Peoria Javelinas.
- LHP [...]
Last week, in the Arizona Fall League, in a move that has felt inevitable for a year now, Reese Havens began the move from shortstop by lining up at secondbase for the first time. Havens, who, as a member of the taxi squad, only gets to play twice a week, played second in both [...]
Thursday, Ruben Tejada drove home the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning of his Surprise Rafters 3-2 win over Peoria in the Arizona Fall League. After his 1-3 evening, Tejada is up to .320/.393/.440 with three doubles, a walk, five strikeouts and two stolen bases through six games.
DH Ike Davis (.414/.438/.724) was [...]
Aside from Mejia, it was a busy day Wednesday for the Mets in their Surprise Rafters 6-4 win.
SS Ruben Tejada: 2-5, 2 R, RBI
1B Ike Davis: 1-3, 2 RBI
DH Reese Havens: 0-3, BB, 3 K
- Keith Law was particularly unimpressed with Havens, tweeting during the game, “You could put the ball on a tee for [...]
