Warning: players who appear in our live prospects listing, but are ranked near the very bottom of the list, may only appear because they were once ranked higher and still technically qualify. As a side-effect of our automated processes, the end of the publicly-visible list also collects longshots, recently-retired players, foreign players unlikely to enter MLB, near-busts and other extreme dark-horse candidates. It does not mean that there are not 'better' prospects, only that better prospects in our system lack enough accurate data and/or scouting inputs to become visible at this time. Always read the detailed information and consult other sources before drawing conclusions about prospect viability, and never, ever, ever treat a 'ranking' alone as if it's meaningful.

Another of the rich 2008 draft class of slugging first basemen, Dykstra (no relation to Lenny and Cutter) is a textbook lefty power bat with no obvious position on a rebuilding Mets team, but he's bubbling over in hitting talent to such a degree that they'll probably find a way. He could use another year in the minors develop his secondary skills, and the Mets will need to deal with the question of his fielding position, but he projects as a solid 25-30 homer type with a good eye for the plate only a year or two from now. His name alone should give him some popularity points in the Big Apple.
