Jorge Alfaro: Surprise Top-100 Prospect
When MLB.com released its top-100 prospect list, I was excited to see shortstop Luis Sardinas included at number 84. As my eyes scrolled from left-to-right across the page, a second Hickory Crawdads player ranked 88th. His name? Jorge Alfaro. The 19-year old ranked fifth on my list of best catchers scouted in 2012 behind a quartet of current and former top-100 players.

HYPE files: Jack Leathersich
Jack Leathersich, RP: The 22 year old Jack Leathersich burst onto the scene this year after a promising debut in the New York Penn League last season. In 12.2 innings last season for Brooklyn, Leathersich struck out 26 batters and only walked 3. Although it was only 12.2 innings, his strikeout/9 innings pitched (K/9) of 18.47 was too impressive to ignore. No one was putting Leathersich...
Mets Minors: Reviewing MLB.com’s Mets top prospects: Part III
#11 Juan Lagares:
What They Said – ‘Since signing at age 16 out of the Dominican, Lagares had moved slowly up the Mets’ ladder. He played at two levels in 2011 and actually hit for a higher average in Double-A, but he struggled to repeat that success at the same level in 2012. He makes consistent contact and doesn’t strike out much, but he also doesn’t walk and doesn...

Mets Minors: Zach Lutz looking to force promotion with bat alone
If a player can hit over .300 with good patience and power… why isn’t he playing in the big leagues? The answers to that question are varied but in the particular case of Zach Lutz, let’s try to get to the bottom of it.
