This season has not gone well for the Mets and while it wasn’t supposed to be a banner year the Mets look like they might once again find themselves as sellers at the trade deadline. Last year when the Mets were in a similar position, names like Drew Gilbert, Luisangel Acuna and Ryan Clifford stole [...]
On Monday morning, the Mets announced the promotion of two-way player Nolan McLean to Double-A Binghamton after a strong start to the season with the Brooklyn Cyclones. Rated as the No. 11 prospect in the Mets system by Baseball America, McLean was the Mets 3rd round pick in the 2023 MLB Draft out of Oklahoma [...]
The Mets have a number of players in the minors right now who are playing well but their names are not the ones we were quite expecting. Jett Williams and Drew Gilbert were both Top 5 prospects and they are both injured, Luisangel Acuna and Kevin Parada are underwhelming and Ryan Clifford’s biggest asset right [...]
All of the early season buzz around pitching in the minor leagues for the Mets this season revolved around Christian Scott. And with the other-worldly strikeout numbers he was posting, it’s not hard to understand. And then Scott made his MLB debut last night and was electric. Perhaps the most impressive thing was that he [...]
One of the themes in recent years in regards to the Mets’ farm system was that it was short on pitching prospects, both in terms of high-end quality and overall depth. Coming into 2024, my opinion was that the first point was debatable and the second point was downright false. Let’s take a look at [...]
The Mets have hundreds of players in their system and we, as an internet community, tend to only focus on 50 or less of the “prospects” in that group. I keep a running tab of rankings and am constantly adjusting players up and down the rankings as seasons move along. The Mets’ seventh round pick [...]
Early in the year we see wacky things due mostly to small samples. And nowhere is this more apparent than with Mets top prospect Christian Scott, who has two games pitched so far for Triple-A Syracuse. And in those two games, Scott has displayed the electric stuff that has so many people so high on [...]
The minor league season is only a few days old but a few stories are already becoming relevant. Anthony Baptist lied about his age and has been suspended for it, Ben Gamel might be overqualified for AAA and nobody messes with Norfolk. For the Mets, another storyline is how the signing of J.D. Martinez has [...]
Spring Breakout game had a great debut
Finishing out our Top 50 rankings we reach a grouping of players that tend to fall into two distinct categories. Players with limited potential (meaning that they aren’t likely to reach the majors as everyday players but they are close to the majors) and lottery tickets (players who are so far from the majors they [...]
Continuing the Top 50 rankings we reach the section where there is quite a lot more disagreement, and not only because of the international signees. You will notice far more “Bold” predictions in this group and a lot less consensus. There are likely three to five people on this list who I rate as having [...]
