Building 2012 Rosters Prospects First - Picks 91-95

91 – 1B/3B Michael Fisher – Fisher was a good pickup in 2010. He plays a bunch of infield positions and has always hit well and fielded better. The problem here is there is so many other guys in this system that do the same thing and he’s totally blocked out going into a year he will play at 27-years old. I have him next year in Buffalo, playing first, second, or third. ETA: AAAA

92 – C Blake Forsythe – I was excited when the Mets drafted Blake. He had just come off a bad year in school, but I remembered the killer year he had had the prior year and my belief was the Mets had stolen one. So far, that hasn’t come true. Forsythe has lost his starting position to Albert Cordero and looks to be his backup again in 2012, this time in St. Lucie. Good pop, but disappointing overall hitting. ETA: AAAA

93 – C Fernando Pena – The Mets had an opportunity a few years ago to either offer $2mil to Jesus Montero, or $500K to Fernando Pena. The rest, as they say, is history. Pena has never lived up to his genetics and is now a backup catcher in the system. He will be the 2nd catcher in Binghamton in 2012, behind Juan Centeno, unless the Mets cut him. ETA: OOS 2015

94 – IF Eric Campbell – Campbell is a younger version of Michael Fisher. Plays a lot of positions, though he has had less hitting success than Fisher. He will join Michael in Buffalo next spring as the other utility infielder. ETA: AAAA

95 – SP Mark Cohoon – Cohoon is the poster child for A-level phenom that is moved far too fast.Cohoon owned the Sally League in 2010 and was bumped two levels to Binghamton. Big mistake. 2011 has been a miserable year for Mark in Buffalo (6.11), but he’ll get another chance next season to start. After that? ETA” AAAA
