The guy is a horse. Especially since in the Video he might have only been 15!
Hopefully he can actually play 3B. Mets already seem to have a nice collection of teenage bats that will have to end up at 1B, LF or DH!

I’m impressed with the fact that even though it’s officially off season for the Mets, there are plenty of posts going up daily – and several different ones from what most are posting. Too bad I’ve been so busy today to get to most but I will.
This Elvis looks promising. You know how sometimes you know nothing about the topic at hand but just the name and/or phrase gives you an instant good feeling or optimism? Well, for me anyway…..
That’s how I feel about this kid just b/c his first name is Elvis and he’s tagged as ‘power hitting’. Here’s hoping he pans out.

I wish I could get in contact with someone at http://metsrefugees.com/forum/index.php
Seems like I need an activation email to comment but darned if I ever got one when I registered and I don’t think my Private messages are getting through to mods.
