2010 first-round pick Matt Harvey plays catch. The Connecticut native, via the University of North Carolina, has yet to throw a pitch in a professional game.


Adam Rubin
Aderlin Rodriguez fields a grounder at third base. He hit 13 homers in 250 at-bats at low-A Kingsport last season and is ranked the organization's No. 9 prospect by Baseball America.


Adam Rubin
Wilmer Flores (4) may eventually move from shortstop to a corner infield or outfield position because of his lack of speed, but the No. 2-rated prospect can hit. Here, he takes grounders at shortstop with Wilfredo Tovar.


Adam Rubin
Second base prospects Reese Havens (right) and Josh Satin converse while taking grounders. Havens moved from shortstop a year ago, but had an injury-plagued 2010 that led to surgery to remove part of a rib. Satin hit .390 in 12 games in the Arizona Fall League.


Adam Rubin
Mark Cohoon throws a bullpen session. The 23-year-old southpaw jumped from Savannah to Double-A Binghamton last season after firing three straight shutouts with the Sand Gnats.


Adam Rubin
Right-hander Brad Holt, taken 33rd overall in the 2008 draft, had major control issues last regular season (79 walks in 95 innings), but feels he got back on track between the instructional league and Arizona Fall League.
Adam Rubin has covered the Mets since 2003. He's a graduate of Mepham High School on Long Island and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He joined ESPNNewYork after spending 10 years at the New York Daily News.
