Prospects: Two Mets in Futures Game
By Michael Baron - Jul 12, 2009 9:07 am

The Mets will have two prospects in this afternoon’s All Star Futures Game in St. Louis.

RHP pitcher Jenrry Mejia, who has recently been clocked at 102 mph during a Double-A game, will be one of the prospects playing for Team World.

Mejia was 4-1 with a 1.97 ERA for St. Lucie, and is 0-3 with a 3.74 ERA since his promotion to Binghamton.

In addition, 17 year old Wilmer Flores will also represent Team World.

Flores is hitting a respectable .280 for Single-A Savanah but his on-base percentage is just .319.

…he is only 17 and there is plenty of time for Flores to mature before he ever puts on a Major League Uniform..from what we saw in Spring Training this year, I think there is a lot to be excited about with this kid and I am looking forward to watching him and Mejia in today’s game…
