The Edge of Seventeen: Marcos Molina

Edgy MD Mar 13 2017 01:24 PM

I was a top Mets pitching prospect. For a few minutes there, I may have been the top Mets pitching prospect, and that's saying something. But a downturn in performance followed by a diagnosis of a torn URL, followed by Tommy John surgery followed by a long rehab, and now I'm little more than a guy, if still a guy whose "top prospect" brand is still strong enough to force the Mets to protect me by putting me on the roster. Anyhow, I'm still a talent, and still a handsome devil when I'm not rocking a stupid beard and quasi-mohawk. And I put up some decent returns in the AFL and I'm hoping to get back on track. Fast-track? Slow track? Starter? Reliever? What's it gonna be?

On the other hand, not a popular guy for predictions.

Will pitch some, probably for a minor league affiliate of some kind. Strike out a few guys, look good doing it. Will be invited to Spring Training 2018.

I don't know anything about this guy, his stuff or whatnot. I know there's some prospect juice about him but he's gonna have to make me drink another half gallon before I can predict a big league career. Go squeeze some oranges, Marcos, and call me later.

Waiting cautiously to see how he recovers from surgery. Maybe extended Spring Training leading to increasingly longer appearances in A+ before finishing the year at AA. Later

Nothing Metly in 2017, and probably not in 2018 either.
