    With the DSL starting, what names should we be watching in regards to higher level prospects?

  2. Jason Mercado

    Holy Crap Lindsay is still under .200 despite heating up the last few games, that slump was real but glad he’s getting out of it.
    Thompson seems out of his slump too. Hope he gets back into driving runs and showing more power.
    Flexen could be the next crop of Starters Met fans should be looking at in the near future: Flexen, Conlon, Molina are closer than Szapucki, Dunn to majors.
    Rosario just keeps proving Mets need to call this kid up. To at least improve the middle infield defense, he could be a real nice spark plug for the line-up and pitching with his defense.

  3. Michael Mayer

    Sheryven Newton, Sebastian Espino, Luis Santana, Ezequiel Pena and Juan Carlos Soto.
