Juan Lagares turning heads

On the move: Shortstop Juan Lagares, who turns 18 next Sunday, already has turned heads in Mets camp. Tim Teufel, who will manage the Mets' Savannah affiliate in the low Class A South Atlantic League, hears a difference when Lagares, a right-handed hitter, makes contact.

"You stop to watch him," said Tom McCraw, the hitting coach with the Gulf Coast Mets.

This kid could be reallll good, he has been compared to Jose Reyes by the scout who scouted both Reyes and Lagares. Look for Lagares to start the season in Low A.
