The countdown of the Mets' top prospects continues. Click here to see the first installment. #45: Wuilmer Becerra Bats: Right Throws: Right Height: 6’4” Weight: 190 Lbs. Born: 10/1/1994, VE Scouting – The terms “Five-Tool-Outfielder” is a good thing. As a Met fan all I can hear is, “Alex Escobar”, “Lastings Milledge” or “Fernando Martinez” [...]

It’s sad to see our Ace get hit with an injury the year before the Mets were “Ready to Compete” but… if you think about it, it could have been worse. Imagine if we had traded Noah Syndergaard or Zack Wheeler for offensive help (Like Giancarlo Stanton or Carlos Gonzalez) in the offseason and Harvey [...]
