Michael Conforto (14) and Brandon Nimmo (48) are Mets featured on Baseball America‘s most-recent prospect list.
“Conforto and Schwarber are having a fun duel to see who is the best college bat from last year’s draft”

“Nimmo isn’t a sexy prospect, but he plays center field, gets on base and shows occasional pop”

Also looking forward to a revised top 10 list. Expect Cecchini to jump up quite a bit. Do they offer an updated top 20? Where would Fullmer now go? I figure Plawecki, Matz, Syndrgaard to all come off.
I don’t think BA does updated team top 20s. You can try Sickels’ minorleagueball.com site
Why bother to release a midseason update if you don’t include current draftees?
I don’t know. My guess is because since they all played against such different competition levels that it’s even harder to get an accurate judge of things. How do you compare a HS kid from Maine to a HS kid from Florida to a college kid from Indiana State to a college kid from LSU? At least when a guy succeeds in the NY Penn League you’ve got a pretty solid idea what that means compared to a guy succeeding in the Eastern League.
Off topic, but have to love Houston’s approach to building a bullpen and they’re in the market for a power arm.

Dodgers have 2 of the top 4. Hardly seems fair.
Yeah, let’s trade Syndergaard and Matz for them.
Brandon Nimmo is an on-base machine! Get that man a cold beverage. 257 walks in 1837 minor league PAs. If he’s a true CF (and I don’t know enough about his fielding to know, nor can I meaningfully interpret BBRef’s dreadful minor league fielding numbers), he’ll hit between 10 and 15 home runs a season and have a couple of seasons where his OBP tops .400.
Now, if he could stop being one of the worst baserunners in the org who isn’t a catcher…
edit: in fact, his 2014 season numbers remind me a little bit of a solid Jose Reyes season.
