Wheeler thriving at Double-A: Mets starting pitcher prospect Zack Wheeler won a fourth straight start -- and third straight since returning from the Double-A DL -- for Binghamton on Wednesday against New Britain. He allowed one run on two hits and two walks in eight innings, striking out six. "My fastball was working; I located it pretty good today," Wheeler told MLB.com. "My changeup, I threw a lot more of those today and it got better as the game went on." Wheeler is 4-2 with a 1.97 ERA and .175 opponents' batting average in eight starts. He also has 51 strikeouts and one homer allowed in 45 2/3 innings. "I used to be that guy who threw a lot of pitches," Wheeler said. "But this year I've been going after guys, so it's a little easier when you get ahead." (Updated 05/24/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
With how thin the Mets rotation has become because of injuries, you wonder how much longer Wheeler will toil at Double-A before a promotion to Triple-A? However, it does seem the Mets have no plans to rush the 2009 first-round pick to the majors, despite showing steady progress each year he has in the minors. It probably makes sense since Wheeler only stretched out to 115 innings last year and still needs to build up arm strength before a shot at the majors. Wheeler is likely at least a year away from making a Fantasy impact, so he has more value as a long-term keeper. (Updated 05/24/2012).
