9. Dilson Herrera, 2b, Mets
Dilson HerreraTeam: Triple-A Las Vegas (Pacific Coast)
Age: 21
Why He’s Here: .441/.472/.647 (15-for-34), 7 R, 4 2B, 1 HR, 5 RBIs, 2 BB, 2 K, 2-for-4 SB
The Scoop: Everything is going right for the Mets right now. They have the best record in baseball and a franchise-best 11-game winning streak. And they have one of the most talented teams in Triple-A, which has provided the depth needed to survive injuries to Travis D’Arnaud, David Wright and Bobby Parnell. But the Mets’ success might slow down Herrera’s return to the big leagues. If the Mets had struggled, second baseman Daniel Murphy would likely be a trade target. But now it’s hard to see that happening, which means Herrera will continue teaming with Matt Reynolds for one of the best middle infield combos in the upper minors. In 14 games this year, Herrera has nine multi-hit games.
