1) Jenrry Mejia, SP
Birthday: 10/11/89
2010 Stats: 0-2, 3.25 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, 5.5 K/9 in 27.2 innings (Majors), 0-0 2.70 ERA, 2.40 WHIP, 13.5 K/9 in 3.1 innings (Triple-A)
What to Expect This Year: Mejia has had success in the majors this year as a reliever. However, he was sent down to the minors to get stretched out and work as a starting pitcher. It would not be surprising to see Mejia back in the majors in late August or early September. If the Mets are in the playoff race, Mejia may be back in the bullpen. If the Mets are out of contention, expect to see Mejia starting.
Best Case Scenario: Mejia has electric stuff and is definitely a power pitcher. He has the potential to become an anchor at the top of the Mets rotation for years to come. If he harnesses all of his potential he might be able to win a Cy Young.
Most Likely Scenario: Mejia will become a solid number two or number three starter. He will have electric stuff but will struggle with his control. A high walk rate will prevent him from ever putting together more than one or two outstanding seasons.

Stats: .252/.314/.450, 9 HR, 29 RBI in 55 games (Triple-A), .267/.313/.333, 0 HR, 0 RBI in 4 games (High-A)
What to Expect This Year: With the logjam in the Mets outfield, there does not appear to be any room for Martinez in…(to read about Fernando Martinez and the other 8 prospects profiled click on the link below)
