| 2011-12-02 14:00:00 | This time next year... Wilmer Flores and Marte... considered good/very good prospects or no-longer seen as potential regulars?
(Wilmer from VZ) | I'm not a big fan of either RIGHT NOW, forget about next year. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-06-17 13:00:00 | What do you hear about Wilmer Flores? I know I should be patient with a 19 year old, but it feels like he's been around forever. More to the point - he seems to be going backwards in his second tour of the Florida State League.
(Jake from Kalamazoo) | I was never a fan. He is still young, and he still has time to figure it out. Be patient, but I wouldn't be overly optimistic. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-03-22 11:00:00 | What are your thoughts on Wilmer Flores?
(Robert from Queens) | Two days ago during a minor league game played on Field 7 (a field that is built precisely to the dimensions of CitiField - walls and all), Flores went oppo to deep right center field. Oppo. Right-center. In CitiField. He's 19. Like him! Seriously, he can really hit. (Paul DePodesta) |
| 2011-02-08 14:00:00 | Ok while I'm trolling for bottom feeders, any of these guys worth a place on my minor league team at SS: Grant Green, Wilmer Flores, J. Iglesias? Thanks again.
(Dan46S from Boston) | I myself like Iglesias. (Ken Funck) |
| 2011-01-03 14:00:00 | Kevin, love the chats. Now that my Fiesta Bowl passing record is safe, who do you think is the top breakout candidate for 2011 from this list: Aaron Hicks, Wilmer Flores, Jonathan Singleton.
(BrowningNagle from Louisville, KY) | A. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-04-08 14:00:00 | Surprised to see Wilmer Flores repeating low A. Is this a change of philosophy for the Mets?
(Rob from Alaska) | I wouldn't read too much into it. It's not like he dominated the level last year, and he'll still be among the youngest every day players there -- why rush things? (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-02-18 14:00:00 | What position does Wilmer Flores end up at? What is his ETA to MLB?
(Jacob from Detroit) | Maybe 3B, more likely RF. September, 2012? (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-11-17 14:00:00 | Kevin, What did scouts have to say about Wilmer Flores this year? Is there a concern about the power if he has to move from shortstop?
(Trevor127 from NYC) | There's just no way he's a shortstop in the end, so it's not an if, it's a when. Still very talented for his age, so don't get too crazy. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-07-15 14:00:00 | Kevin, Wilmer Flores is handling himself pretty well in Low-A. Is there a guy you liken him to? If he doesn't stick at SS can his bat play elsewhere?
(Kamryn from Wilmington) | He's just so young that he can go in so many directions. I still don't hate the Miggy Cab comp, but that's also way too much to compare a guy so far away to. There's nowhere he's a shortstop in the end, but I really like the bat. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-03-19 15:00:00 | What's your view on Wilmer Flores? Is he compared to Miguel Cabrera because it's appropriate, or because it's convenient?
(joalryan from Chicago) | Obviously, anytime you are comparing a guy out of short season with an established superstar, it's dangerous. Still, it's a very promising bat for a teenager, and like Cabrera, he's got a thick lower half that's going to limit him defensively down the road. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-03-25 13:00:00 | We often hear of the projection that a young player (e.g. an international signee like Carlos Triunfel or Wilmer Flores) will fill out, lose athleticism, and need to shift positions as he grows up while in the minors. How much of this projection comes from evidence/analysis by Medical personnel, versus speculation/experience by scouts?
(Aaron from YYZ) | Almost none from the medical side. There's more input with the draft and trades for the medical team and even that varies greatly from team to team. (Will Carroll) |
