The Mets still have a system loaded with high-probability big leaguers, including a couple of potential stars in Conforto, Smith and shortstop Amed Rosario. The re-emergence of Gavin Cecchini as a legitimate offensive prospect gives the Mets some options for their infield going forward, especially important when the team is owned by a Scrooge. Casey Meisner, one of my two sleeper prospects for this system coming into the year, had a breakout first half for St. Lucie, and Michael Fulmer has been healthy and effective in Double-A after missing the first two weeks of the season. There’s a ton of pitching in here, most of it potentially useful in trades because of the depth of the Mets’ rotation, but they also have some bats coming — five guys I’d tab as regulars or better — to help that very sad major league offense as soon as next year.
