Welcome to the first installment in my look at the Mets' top prospects. #50: Miller Diaz Bats: Right Throws: Right Height: 6’1” Weight: 209 Lbs Born: 6/22/92, VE Scouting – Diaz has a fastball that sits in the mid-90s. His secondary pitches and control need work but he seems to have made strides in both. [...]

There have been 16 hitters play for both Las Vegas and New York this season. Here are the stats for the group at both levels.
In preparation for 2013’s end of season Top 20 Prospect rankings I’ve decided to take a look through the system and create a list of people at each level who currently factor as prospects. You see, not every player in the Met system is a genuine prospect and of those players who a AAA: Las [...]
In case you hadn't heard, the New York Mets will probably not be making the postseason for the seventh year in a row. That's particularly painful considering that the rebuild didn't really start in earnest until the 2011 season. The future does look bright for the franchise, devastating-Matt-Harvey-injury aside. You need look no further than [...]
Sandy Alderson held onto Marlon Byrd at the trade deadline because he didn't get offered enough value in return. That decision paid off when he was able to land Dilson Herrera in a waiver move.
The Mets signed 27 draft picks in 2013. Here are their bonuses and pool allotment numbers.
The Mets announced that they have signed Dominican outfielder, Ricardo Cespedes, for $725,000.00 at the young age of sixteen. He’s a lefty with good bat mechanics and the speed to at least start in center field. The question for Cespedes, like so many young outfielders, is whether he will fill out and move to a [...]

Others, including yours truly, feel it's still incredibly early to make such claims about a 20 year old in his first year of full-season [...]
Readers of this column will recognize the name Akeel Morris. He, Domingo Tapia and Juan Urbina were once the secondary pitching story to Matt Harvey back in 2011. The reason that Morris was pegged as a future star was thanks in large part to a fastball that sits at approximately 96 MPH and has the [...]
Rob talked with 2013 first-round pick Dominic Smith on a wide range of subjects.
Noah Syndergaard had another dominating start at Double-A Binghamton Friday night. In related news, the sun rises in the east. It’s hard to come up with new words to show how overpowering he’s been. Remember this is a kid who pitched in Lo-A last year and who began 2013 in the Florida State League. His [...]
