Get a Prospect Boner

Very encouraging pitching news: ]Brad Holt And Jenrry Mejia Dominate In B-Mets Debuts .... Holt's great strikeout numbers and classic power pitcher makeup attracted due attention to his heater last season, but Mejia's may be just as good. Kevin Goldstein wrote before the season: [Mejia] has the best pure arm in the system—even topping Holt at Brooklyn—with a fastball that sits at 94-97 mph consistently and touches 99. ... Most people talk about these guys downside as being power relievers, because of their dominating fastballs and questionable secondary offerings. Given Mejia's groundball tendencies, and his age, he figures to have plenty of time to develop secondary pitches that he may not have to rely on too much. The rate of attrition for pitchers is high, hence the phrase "There is no such thing as a pitching prospect," but it's hard not to be excited about these guys. Given Flores' and Martes' struggles and Fernando's promotion, Holt and Mejia may be considered the Mets top-two prospects soon. You pick the order.

Seawolf - <i>"Quick! Trade them!"</i> Not so fast. I'd like the opportunity to see at least one of my adoptees don the Mets uniform.

Hell, I was half-mast when they got promoted. Now, I'm killing my pants.
