Mets Minors: Peter Alonso and other prospects ready to help in 2019

We often talk about minor leaguers and their ETAs (Estimated Time of Arrival) in the majors. A player like Ronny Mauricio may be a top tier, top quality prospect but his ETA is currently projected for 2022. (I’d probably call that ETA aggressive.) Today, we are going to look at players who are in line [...]

Mets Minors: Tim Tebow and other Spring Training invitees

The Mets have invited some interesting names to Spring Training and some have a legitimate chance to make the team. However, with an overcrowded infield and more depth than the Mets are used to seeing, it’s hard to see some of these people as contenders. OF Rajai Davis: The Mets snaked one of the best [...]

Mets Minors: Jeff McNeil and the victims of circumstance

The Mets have had a busy offseason and as the dust settles it seems that the Mets may have brought in enough veteran bodies to keep both Jeff McNeil and Top Prospect, Peter Alonso from making the team out of Spring Training. The fact is that the Mets have approximately thirteen roster spots for position [...]

Mets Minors: Brodie Van Wagenen doesn’t like prospects

Since becoming the GM of the Mets Brodie Van Wagenen has made some good and some bad moves. While the Mets have brought aboard Edwin Diaz, Robinson Cano, Jeurys Familia, Wilson Ramos, Rajai Davis, Gregor Blanco, Keon Broxton, Walker Lockett and J.D. Davis, they’ve lost a ton of talent from their farm. See below as [...]

2019 Mets top 50 prospects: 2-1

Finally here, the best of the best. The top two prospects for the Mets should hardly surprise anyone though some might now be arguing if Peter Alonso might be better than Andres Gimenez.

2019 Mets top 50 prospects: 4-3

We are almost there. As we reach the top four we find ourselves discussing two young prospects who managed to defy the odds and play some baseball on the same team. One prospect was the Mets top international Free Agent from 2017 and the other was their #1 pick from the 2018 draft. Still, somehow, [...]

2019 Mets top 50 prospects: 7-5

We are at the point where we are discussing some of the elite of Met prospects.

2019 Mets top 50 prospects: 10-8

So much injury in one group of players, it’s enough to make you cry. Anthony Kay was finally healthy in 2018 and turned in a mixed performance between his two levels of play, Franklyn Kilome was a nice acquisition from the Phillies but he’s since had Tommy John surgery that will shelve him for all [...]

2019 Mets top 50 prospects: 15-11

Wow the final group of players outside the Top 10 and you have four players who are either former, current or future DSL players. Ordinarily this would be fairly horrifying, but these youngsters might be different.  Santana and Newton are coming off of seasons in stateside baseball in which they both showed tremendous potential, Hernandez [...]

2019 Mets top 50 prospects: 20-16

There are a number of players in this group who are really exciting and for the most part there are fewer and fewer “warts” to be worried about.
