In addition to this, Mack states:
38. Jenrry Mejia / SP / NY Mets / Double-A / 10/11/89 / ETA: 2011 / High: #38 / Low: UR / This Week: New2009 Thoughts:This young man has snuck up on everybody, but don't expect the Mets to push him beyond Double-A. Lets see how the kid adjusts to his current league and the advanced hitters he's facing.Average Year Projection:Too early to tell.Prime Year Projection:Too early to tell.Notes:6/24/09 - I will admit it, I missed the boat on Mejica. Earlier this year I glanced at his High-A numbers, which were impressive on the surface but not so impressive peripherally, and then moved on to the next player that caught my eye. But, at the age of 19 I should have at least added him to the bubble. I didn't even consciously realize that he was promoted to Double-A Birmingham until a few starts in. That's when my eyes were opened. Right on cue, kindly Hardball Times reader Suchit Patel emailed me no more than an hour later looking for my thoughts on Mejica. Dear Suchit, go get Jenrry Mejica. I will admit another thing, I haven't even seen him pitch yet, but I'm hoping to catch his next start. I am being aggressive with this ranking, as I've essentially moved him ahead of Fernando Martinez as the team's No. 1 prospect, but the numbers and the age don't lie. He's riding on a lot of hype, and I usually don't just blindly buy into hype, but this time I will take the plunge.
For this reason, Luke Gude says:

Ben Nicholson-Smith has another idea:
"Oh god please don t start talking about teams tanking and getting the #1 draft pick like the NBA and NFL. In baseball it doesn t matter if you have the greatest player of all time, unless you are solid everywhere else on the field you will still lose." One, it was sarcasm, two, you have not right what to tell anybody, all you do is spew uninformed biased opinions that people laugh at. HIGH OBP and power guys suck! They clog the bases!

D-Robo explains:
So good is Harper, and so bleak the prospect of his spending two more years with high school pitchers who can't (and won't) throw their sloppy 80-mph fastballs over the plate to him, that his parents Ron, a steelworker, and Sheri, a paralegal are looking for ways to make their son eligible for the draft next year rather than in 2011. One of their advisers is agent Scott Boras, who has a well-earned reputation for maximizing dollars and exploiting loopholes. "I heard one of the things they're considering is taking him to the Dominican Republic to make him a free agent," says one AL executive.
Rivals High explains:
The Gaels were led by five seniors who signed with Division I college programs this year, but they had only three pitchers with varsity experience. Malm, a first baseman and left-handed pitcher, was drafted in the fifth round by the Tampa Bay Rays and will either end up in that team's system or will go to college at USC. R.J. Santigate, an infielder and right-handed pitcher, was drafted in the 44th round by the Los Angeles Angels. He has signed with Long Beach State.

While Sterling made an honest mistake mixing up Matsui and Rodriguez using “A-Bomb†imagery when describing a home run by a player born in Japan is spectacularly insensitive.

Skeelo might have an idea about it:
First his supposed lack of sportsmanship when he walked off the court without shaking hands with the Magic. I have absolutely no problem with that whatsoever. What nobody mentioned was that when he fouled Dwight Howard with a couple of minutes left and the game was decided he gave Howard a really quick low five, or in other words, "Congrats man. You beat us straight up and good luck in the Finals". That's all he needed to do. If he had stuck around after the buzzer all the Magic players would have said to him was "tough luck LeBron. You went for 38-12-12 against in this series, you were awesome, we couldn't stop you, your miracle three at the buzzer of Game 2 was the only reason we didn't sweep you, and you were the best player on the court and next year you'll kill us." You really think LeBron was in a mood to hear how great he was in a series he lost because his teammates and coach were absolutely horseshit around him? Hell no. That's why he got off the court.

However, baseballgirl states that:
Tim Lincecum threw the complete game, striking out twelve, and I will be the last to ignore his incredible success with men on base, but I feel the A s failed every bit as much as Lincecum dominated. When your offense reaches base
MLB Home Run does not seem to agree with this. In his own words:
"What do I like about him?" says the NL scouting director. "Everything. He's got a great body. The perfect frame for baseball. A big-time arm behind the plate, but a good enough athlete to do anything you want. His bat speed is ridiculous. I've never seen anything like it. And since last year he's calmed down his approach a little bit. He used to want to go out and get everything. Now it's more under control."
Still not being convinced, TheNaturalMevs replies:
He's 16 years old. Six-teen. Do you know how much can occur in these years for a guy that age? Don't count your chickens before they hatch on Harper. No matter how bad you want to.

Kellen Winslow, Jr. is another perfect example of the immaturity that professional athletes can demonstrate. He thought he was invincible and could do whatever he wanted, so he rode a stunt-bike and nearly ended his career before it even started. If Winslow, who was nearly ten years older than Harper is now, could be so foolish as to do something like that, what would a 16-year-old kid do?

I will say this, watching him swing, he does a little twisting jig with his right, front foot as he prepares to swing, that might be a problem for him when facing 95 mph fastballs and/or sharp curves. Its hard to tell when he is swinging against balls tossed by a hitting machine but it may be something that curtails some of his power at the college level or in pro ball. Time will tell.

He doesn t miss many bats, but Applebee doesn t give up a lot of solid contact either. After a solid summer in the Cape Cod League, Applebee went 10-2, 3.74 this spring. His track record and ability to keep the ball in the ballpark (five homers allowed in 89 innings) could make him the second Highlander drafted, after closer Joe Kelly. At 6-foot-2. 170 pounds, he s got similar stuff to UC Irvine ace

Tim Lincecum threw the complete game, striking out twelve, and I will be the last to ignore his incredible success with men on base, but I feel the A s failed every bit as much as Lincecum dominated. When your offense reaches base
MLB Home Run does not seem to agree with this. In his own words:
"What do I like about him?" says the NL scouting director. "Everything. He's got a great body. The perfect frame for baseball. A big-time arm behind the plate, but a good enough athlete to do anything you want. His bat speed is ridiculous. I've never seen anything like it. And since last year he's calmed down his approach a little bit. He used to want to go out and get everything. Now it's more under control."
Still not being convinced, TheNaturalMevs replies:
He's 16 years old. Six-teen. Do you know how much can occur in these years for a guy that age? Don't count your chickens before they hatch on Harper. No matter how bad you want to.

It’s safe to assume that this wasn’t a rushed decision on the part of Harper or his family. And in the end, you have to make the right decision for you and you alone. Others are going to try and force their opinions and beliefs on you and make you question whether or not you’re making the right decision. But as far as we all know, we only get one life and I’d rather make my own decisions than have someone who isn’t in my shoes say what’s best for me. And that’s what Harper is essentially doing, although at only 16, hopefully his parents are helping him make the right choice because he still is only a kid. (How many of us knew what the hell was best for us at 16?)
In addition to this, Dave Cameron states:
There s several reasons Hairston has only batted 572 times in the last year-and-a-half. Mostly because he can t stay healthy. He has also had a pretty large platoon split throughout his career and sits against tough right-handers.

You think Derosa is going to replace the production of Beltran, Reyes, Delgado, Maine, Putz, Perez?????? Its not a shot at the Mets man they are just hurt, bad luck year, get over it. And the Mets have a depleted farm system which is why they are at the bottom of almost all rankings for farm systems. Posted by: yanks09 | June 22, 2009 at 04:42 PM

That would make him just two months younger than Mike Trout and Randal Grichuk were June 9, when they were selected in the first round of the 2009 draft. The Marlins' third-round pick, Da'Shon Cooper, is one year to the day older than Harper. None of their fathers were criticized for allowing their sons to enter pro ball at such a young age.
Furthermore, Rounding Third Staff claims:
Bryce Harper isn't worrying about failing.He's well aware of how many can't-miss phenoms in baseball managed to do exactly that, and he doesn't want to be another one.

Bryce Harper From: Admin Sach C. Rick Tommy Craggs E Chigliak MLB Home Run Frank Curmudgeon Jason Clinkscales The Happy Rock Jeremy Phil Miller Shedd Mike Axisa Ben Nicholson-Smith SM Oliva Chemgod Brian Davidson Mike Rook Ben Nicholson-Smith /26715528
In contrast, admin replies:
http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/high-school/high-heat/2009/267403.htmlDuration : 0:7:53
Despite the previous arguments, Sach C. has many reasons to think otherwise:
Washington Nationals: (5-5; -16)Jordan Zimmermann and the Nationals ruined John Smoltz s Red Sox debut last night, to salvage the third game of their series with the Sox. The Nats begin a three game series with their geographic rival, Baltimore Orioles. Â The Nationals lead the Bryce Harper sweepstakes by 7 over the Indians.
Rick points out another thing aside from that:
The rumor mill was churning away, including names like Shaq and Josh Smith .We poked fun at Kobe and TMZ , and Rock gave us a draft review of what might have been .
Having that in mind, Tommy Craggs wonders:
The ball would've landed in this patch of Vegas moonscape: And now turn around and look back at the ballpark:
Similarly, e chigliak adds:
Ronnie Belliard Alex Gonzales pops the first pitch he s sees out to short. Ryan Hatigan walks and takes second on a sac bunt by Harang. Jerry Hairston, Jr. skies the third out to center, Elijah Dukes catches the third out of the Reds fifth... Josh Bard singles to start the DC fifth. Shairon Martis grounds into a force at second.
