Fantasy Analysis
Havens continued his unfortunate stretch of injuries during the spring as he was hobbled by a stiff back and was unable was unable to make a Grapefruit League appearance. He posted a .288 batting average between Class A and Double-A last year, but has yet to play more than 100 games in a professional season. Fantasy owners should keep track of his progression this year to see if he can stay healthy. (Updated 03/15/2012).

The Mets face a lot of question marks (Johan Santana and Jason Bay, to name a pair), but Fantasy owners can also look forward to up-and-coming talent taking big steps forward in 2012.
The Mets selected Reese Havens only four picks after taking Ike Davis in the 2008 draft, yet Havens has yet to even sniff Triple-A, much less the majors. The problem has been injuries -- tons of them, to just about every part of his body. He missed the beginning of 2011 recovering from offseason rib surgery to alleviate an oblique issue and has also missed time with elbow, groin, hand and back issues in his brief minor-league. Granted, he has performed pretty well when healthy, drawing a high number of walks and exhibiting above-average power for a middle infielder, but he can't develop if he's not on the field. He's averaging only 235.7 at-bats in three full minor-league seasons. He was originally drafted as a shortstop, so he could potentially get a look there this spring now that Jose Reyes is gone. But given Havens' lack of experience so far, he'll most likely need another year in the minors. At age 25, he'll need to pick up the pace to live up to his potential in long-term keeper leagues.
