with the marlins shipping dontrelle willis and miguel cabrera to the tigers. it helps the mets that they dont have to face the 2 anymore but the mets cant seem to get a deal. the reason.......due to lack of ready prospects no one wants them and the mets dont have many only like 6 that are worth mentioning and here they are

philip humber, 25
(pitcher)
0-0, 7.71 era, 2k's in 2007
phillip has shown signs of greatness in his first and only start in 07 he showed it by shutting down the marlins however he struggled with his control at times and couldnt keep the runners off the basebath. coming out after only 4 innings the bullpen caved in and let in all the players he left on base reasoning his high era none the less i think fill will get better next year and will be very valuable to the mets.

Kevin Mulvey, 21
(pitcher)
12-10, 3.20 era, 113 k's in minors 2007
mulvey is a rarity for a 21 yr old pitcher he has great command and can strikeout any one with his 4 pitches a fastball, curveball, change up and a slider. he hasnt reached the majors yet and probobly wont till 2009 but i think the mets should hold on too him until he comes up and proves himself

Joe Smith, 23
(pitcher)
3-2, 3.45 era, 45k's in rookie season
joe has come up so fast and started off so hot people think he was a dissapointment at the end of the year. not true joe had a great season and is a low sidearm pitcher something the mets could use. he's only 23 and im sure he'll get much better after another year or two in the BIGS.

Mike Pelfrey, 23
(pitcher)
3-8, 5.57 era, 45k's in 2007
i hate pelfrey i think he's a huge bust and a waste. he has yet to prove himself at all and started of 0-7! i think he bell a solid pitcher as he gets older but nothing more. pelfrey should be traded now while he still has some value to him.

(NEWLY ACQUIRED TALENT!!!!!!!!!!!)

Steve Register, 24
(pitcher)
1-3, 4.03 ERA, 37 sv's, 48k's in minors
A pitcher with a modest velocity and a modest resume, Register "has a chance" to find work in the Mets' bullpen after leading the Double-A Texas League in saves (37) last season. He had a 1-3 record and a 4.03 ERA in 61 games and 58 innings, allowing 63 hits and 16 walks. He struck out 48. His three-year record as a starter was 19-28, while his ERA in 69 starts was 4.73.
he can be a closer of the future for the mets but now he is uncertain

(pitcure n/a)
Garry Bakker,24
(pitcher)
2-7, 3.67 ERA, 64 k's in minors
had a 2-7 record and a 3.67 ERA in 31 games (11 starts) for Winston-Salem (****A) of the Carolina League last season. In 83 1/3 innings, he allowed 79 hits and 45 walks and struck out 64. Bakker has a 13-16 record with 11 saves and a 4.60 ERA in 123 games in four years in the Minor Leagues.

Carlos Gomez, 23
(Outfielder)
.232 avg, 2hr's, 12 RBI's, 12 SB's in Debut season
the mets most treasured and most coveted prospect and i have to agree. gomez has incredible speed and great defense. he struggled in his time with the majors but was hampered by a broken and which he had to get surgically repaired. gomez will still be a rookie in 2008 and the mets outfielder of the future. he will continue to grow into one of the mlb's finest young stars.

Fernando Martinez, 18
(OUTFIELDER)
.265 avg, 4hr, 22 RBI in minors
people say martinez has it all but its too early to say that now. the incredibly young and talented fernando wont be ready for another 2-3 yrs so we'll have to see how he bounces back after a injury plagued minor league 2007.

mike carp, 21
(1st base)
.251 AVG 11hr 48 RBI in minors
he made a great impression in spring training. he'll definately be on the mets radar

and thats all the mets top prospects thank u and goodnight ^ ^
