Matt Harvey Makes BA’s Prospect Hot Sheet
Baseball America’s Prospect Hot Sheet for the period April 20-26 has Mets top prospect RHP Matt Harvey ranked #6 and 3B Wilmer Flores gets an honorable mention.
Regarding Flores BA Writes:
For as long as he’s been around, it’s easy to forget that Wilmer Flores is still just a 20-year-old in the high Class A Florida State League. Now playing third base for the Mets, Flores is off to a .323/.355/.523 start through 19 games, including an 11-game hitting streak. With international prospects, it pays to be patient.
Last week, BA also ranked a Met prospect, Zack Wheeler, #6. I say we shoot for No. 5 or better next week so we can avoid that whole 666 thingy.

Flores’ hitting streak went to 12 straight games last night.
Yup. Put that into today’s Lucie Logistics. Think he’ll get a Bingo promotion soon?
I think a very real possibility would be a mid-season promotion to AA, with a corresponding move of Jefry Marte to AAA.
A 20 YO hitting his way up to AAA (earning the promotion on merit, not need) is pretty impressive.
