Zack Wheeler, 2009 first-round Draft pick, posted a 2.00 ERA over six starts for St. Lucie Mets in the Florida State League following the trade. "I feel like I handled everything pretty well," Wheeler said. "It kind of caught me by surprise. I knew it might be coming, but when you get traded, it's still a surprise.
"I think it gives me a better opportunity. Everybody welcomed me over here. They just stood back and observed me. I just pitched like I normally would."
