So far...the Mets have drafted:
1 Ike Davis (1B)...pick fro Glavine deal, a lefty power hitter (surprised he fell this low).
22) Reese Havens (SS)...pretty much one of those players teams like to have. He's a scrappy player, leader, has a great eye, hits for average, plays goodD, and could wind up filling a few different spots that we are in need of. Wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a catcher.
33) Bradley Huff....a power pitcher who hits 92-94 consistently (tops out at 96), but has no secondary pitch (another Pelfrey IMO). I hate seeing college kidshaving breaking/curveballs at an early age, they end up having short careeres. he won't face any Major Leaguers for 3 years anyways, so he should be ableto develop.
66) Javier Rodriguez (sounds like a wannabe Gomez)

JAVIER RODRIGUEZ, OF, Puerto Rico Baseball Academy, Gurabo, P.R.
Considered one of the better prospects in Puerto Rico heading into the Excellence Tournament that annually draws scouts to see the island's best talent each May, Rodriguez elevated his status after his strong showing there. He is the best pure hitter from Puerto Rico and has good bat speed. With a lean, athletic body, Rodriguez should have the ability to add muscle to his long frame. He shows above-average raw power to the pull side, though there is some length to his swing. Rodriguez is an average to above-average runner, clocking in at 6.7 seconds in the 60-yard dash. Reviews of his fielding are mixed, though his arm is above-average for both the length and carry he gets on the ball and for its accuracy.
All of the picks have been power arms or bats pretty much, they just went in wanting to draft the best possibly players, not needs (this isn't the NBA,NFL, etc).
