The Amateur draft has come and gone and there were a number of surprises but none were bigger than the Rangers’ selection of Kumar Rocker with the 3rd overall pick. The Mets wound up with a tremendous value pick in Kevin Parada and had a very good first day of drafting but should the Texas [...]
The Mets have seen the return of Max Scherzer. They will soon enjoy the return of Jacob deGrom. They’ve weathered the weak schedule of the Atlanta Braves and they have reached the cusp of the All Star break with Tomas Nido catching in many too many of their games. That being said, James McCann doesn’t [...]
Another month into the system and we’ve started to learn things about the prospects in the Mets system but the biggest and most important thing we’ve learned is that Francisco Alvarez is a great prospect. Since ascending into the #1 prospect slot he’s held there pretty firm through some surging months of Brett “The Met” [...]
The Amateur Draft is scheduled for later this month and the Mets will be picking four times in the first day and first 72 picks. The Mets are rightfully expected to draft a lot of pitching with the caveat that a player too good to pass up drops to them. Today’s analysis goes through some [...]
A lot can happen in a month and for a number of Mets prospects May was far kinder than the month of April. Of particular note is Mark Vientos who was utterly resurgent in the month of May after an absolutely dismal month of April. Likewise, Nick Plummer, Jose Peroza, Eric Orze and others bounced [...]
Baseball America recently released its midseason Top 30 prospects updates for all organizations, and unsurprisingly, most of the top prospects in the organization are in the upper levels of the minors – Francisco Alvarez, Brett Baty, Ronny Mauricio and Mark Vientos. There are also a fair amount of players in St. Lucie or in the [...]
During a Mets360 game chatter a discussion began on the future position of Ronny Mauricio. The Mets #3 prospect (making a push to become the #2 prospect) is a natural shortstop who is destined to shift positions because of Francisco Lindor and the fact that he is 6’3” tall. Mauricio could be shifted to third [...]
One of the things I will be tracking on my second post of each month will be the Mets Top 20 prospect list and major movements within the Top 50 list. During the first month of the season the Mets have had some mixed results amongst their four tiers of full season minor league baseball. [...]
Some things are given as laws of reality that cannot be bent, broken or changed. The only sure things in life are death and taxes but you could lay out money fairly safely on Francisco Alvarez beginning and ending the year in the minors. The Mets have a high paid catcher and a suitable backup [...]
We’re going to try something new this year with the top prospect list. There are still 50 names but instead of trying to put them in a ranked order, they will be grouped in levels and listed alphabetically. All prospect lists are a snapshot in time. Just because Player X is in one group in [...]
The Mets just made a significant move leading up to Spring Training and the 2022 season. They acquired Chris Bassit for J.T. Ginn, their #5 prospect and top rated pitching prospect as well as Adam Oller (ranked 24th overall by Mets360.com). Bassit immediately steps into the rotation with Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer, Carlos Carrasco and [...]
I have a number of running spreadsheets for the Mets farm system that are all updated on a monthly basis with rankings and depth charts that are updated regularly. I use this document constantly, as I’m making my posts and while we are in the postseason we begin to see a healthy amount of speculation [...]
