Martinez a 5 tool player

From Mets.com

"He's a five-tool player," said Tony Bernazard, the Mets' vice president of development. "He's one of those hitters that comes along once in a generation. As long as he stays healthy, he has a chance to be a real impact player."

many team were looking at him but he chose to sign with The Mets. Omar's thoughts:

"I call it the domino effect," Mets general manager Omar Minaya said. "He had a few teams that were very interested in him, but he chose us at least in part because of the influence of Pedro."

"He's one of those special kids," Bernazard said. "He's got a great attitude, great desire. He doesn't want to be just good; he wants to be great, and he works at it."

I thought this was intresting

Martinez is 6-foot-1 and 198 pounds -- average size for someone who has been regularly peppering the maintenance facility beyond the right-center field fence on Field No. 4 with 400-foot-plus home runs.

"
Said Bernazard, "From everything we've seen, he's got a great future ahead of him."

Now we all love Fernando Martinez but before I start crowning him The Mets future I want to see him hit 280 this year in double A with 16 homeruns. He will be the youngest player in AA, and will be one of the best prospects there. As of now its all potential, and could develop like I said before, but as of now he looks to be a GREAT player. I can't wait...
On this pace he would be ready to play in the MLB by 2009.. which is not likely as he would be 20 years old but if he is really as good as they say, and I've seen him compared to the best think it could happen.
2007:AA
2008:AAA
2009:MLB
