One player whose name is starting to get thrown around in conversations about Mets minors with good statistics is Josh Satin. Satin is mainly a second basemen (but can play the other bases as well) for the Savannah Sand Gnats at the age of 24. His stats this year look promising but there are a few other things that also have to be taken into consideration. The Mets drafted him in the 2008 draft in the 6th round. At that time, and still today, he is considered somewhat of a sleeper pick as his stats suggest:
2009- 87 G, 303 AB, 89 H, 21 2B, 4 HR, 42 RBI, .294 BA
2008- 48 G, 155 AB, 47 H, 12 2B, 2 3B, 5 HR, 15 RBI, .303 BA
And Some College stats:

Total .290 159 594 91 172 101 31 2 11 72 94 16
The question that comes with Satin is what to make of his age and ability, especially when comapared to the talent that he is playing with. He is older than most of his competition right now, which should give him an advantage and possibly inflate his stats, but its hard to figure out what to make of that inflation. He was also hitting well over .300 earlier this season, and he is starting to drop off a bit. He's an interesting player because he has skills but but where he plays puts a damper on them. Some say he could be an orginzational player type, which makes sense.
