2014 Monday Morning Mets Minors Players of the Week

4/28-5/4

            Keeping track of the hottest minor leaguers in the Mets farm system. Savannah gets the nod for hottest team of the week, as they won 5/6 thanks to some great pitching performances. Noah Syndergaard finally showed AAA what he's made of. Logan Verrett had a very nice start against the PCL's top offense. Wilmer Flores had a breakout week, we hope. Tyler Pill showed some of the potential that made him a good looking prospect before last season's injury, but the B-Mets had a pretty rough week offensively overall. Brandon Nimmo keeps getting on base - hope he doesn't plan to stick around St. Lucie that long after May ends.
