The annual lists have been coming out over the last few weeks. Instead of relying on just one list over another I like to make a combined so as to get a kind of general consensus on who and where the top prospects in baseball are. From a mashed-up list of Baseball Prospectus, Baseball America, Keith Law @ ESPN.com, and Jonathan Mayo @ MLB.com 1T - MATT MOORE - LHP - Rays -- rated 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 1st (JM, BA, KL, BP) 1T - BRYCE HARPER - OF - NATIONALS -- 2nd, 1st, 2nd, 2nd 3 - MIKE TROUT - OF - ANGELS -- 3rd, 3rd, 1st, 3rd 4 - JURKISON PROFAR - SS - RANGERS 5 - SHELBY MILLER - RHP - CARDINALS 6 - MANNY MACHADO - SS - ORIOLES 7 - JULIO TEHERAN - RHP - BRAVES 8 - JESUS MONTERO - C - [crossout]YANX[/crossout] MARINERS 9 - DYLAN BUNDY - RHP - ORIOLES 10 - GERRITT COLE - RHP - PIRATES 11 - TREVOR BAUER - RHP - D'BACKS 12 - JAMESON TALLION - RHP - PIRATES 13 - DEVIN MESORACO - C - REDS 14 - TRAVIS d'ARNAUD - C - BLUE JAYS 15 - TAIJUAN WALKER - RHP - MARINERS 16 - WIL MYERS - OF - ROYALS 17 - TYLER SKAGGS - LHP - D'BACKS 18 - JACOB TURNER - RHP - TIGERS 19 - MIGUEL SANO - 3B - TWINS 20 - BUBBA STARLING - OF - ROYALS 21 - ANTHONY RENDON - 3B - NATIONALS 22 - MANNY BANUELOS - RHP - YANKEES 23 - ARCHIE BRADLEY - RHP - D'BACKS 24 - DANNY HULTZEN - LHP - MARINERS 25 - CARLOS MARTINEZ - RHP - CARDINALS 26 - NOLAN ARENADO - 3B - ROCKIES 27 - MARTIN PEREZ - LHP - RANGERS 28 - ZACK WHEELER - RHP - METS -- 28th, 35th, 27th, 30th 29 - FRANCISCO LINDOR - SS - INDIANS 30 - DREW POMERANZ - RHP - INDIANS 31 - JARROD PARKER - RHP - D'BACKS 32 - MATT HARVEY - RHP - METS -- 38th, 54th, 38th, 25th 33 - CHRISTIAN YELICH - OF - MARLINS 34 - ARODYS VIZCAINO - RHP - BRAVES 35 - HAK-JU LEE - SS - RAYS 36 - BILLY HAMILTON - SS/2B - REDS 37 - GARY BROWN - OF - GIANTS 38 - MIKE MONTGOMERY - LHP - ROYALS 39 - BRETT JACKSON - OF - CUBS 40 - ANTHONY RIZZO - 1B - PADRES 41 - JONATHAN SINGLETON - OF - ASTROS 42 - RYMER LIRIANO - OF - PADRES 43 - RANDALL DELGADO - RHP - BRAVES 44 - MIKE OLT - 3B - RANGERS 45 - JAKE MARISNICK - OF - BLUE JAYS 46 - NICK CASTELLANOS - 3B - TIGERS 47 - WILY PERALTA - RHP - BREWERS 48 - YONDER ALONSO - OF - PADRES 49 - GARY SANCHEZ - C - BRAVES 50 - A.J.

Didn't the Mets want Gary Brown rather than Wheeler from S.F.?

That's possible. Brown's name may have come up as one being sought specifically by the Mets or maybe it was mere speculation because when teams are moving established players at trading deadlines ALL hot prospects in the target's organization get speculated about. The word on Brown is that he's an OFer with questionable future power but ridiculous speed.

I don't remember any talk of Gary Brown, but I do remember Dominic Brown (of the Phillies) as someone the Mets might have gotten for Beltran.
