Do you want to see where your favorite Met prospects are looking to spend their summers? Sure you do! Why it's a topic at breakfast tables and water coolers across our proud land.
Well, below, check out the highly un-scientific projection, just arrived from Stockholm this morning, prepared by Drs. Jarred and Johanssen from the Stockholm Institute.
Keep in mind a few things.
1) Chaos reigns supreme, and more so the further down the line you get. If the good doctors have 23 of 25 Mets correctly named, and I don't see why that shouldn't be so, that means they probably have 21 of 25 Las Vegas 51s correct, and you see how that shakes things up down in the low minors.
2) It's a snapshot. As everybody is healthy, and bodies haven't started dropping, and nobody has played themselves into oblivion, some of these guys are parked a level below where they are likely to debut. Some pitchers are perhaps two levels below. But pitchers get hurt.
3) Prospects are marked in boldfaced red according to their top-25 rankings by Amazin' Avenue. The 25 guys who got honorable mentions are noted in boldfaced black HM. Guys who were (a) ranked last year, (b) graduated from prospect status, and (c) nonetheless are projected to return to the minors at the start of this season are noted in boldfaced orange.
4) The short season leagues likely won't look like this at all. As 10 new guys from the 2018 draft will be with the Brooklyns, 10 with the Kingsport squadron, and 10 laboring for a crowd of two dozen in the Gulf Coast League.
5) Players with colored names are in the system (or apparently so) but not active.
[list]=#FF0000]Red = Likely to open season on DL or rehab assignment
=#0000FF]Blue = Possibly retired, but hasn’t been reported as such
=#8000BF]Purple = Under suspension or banishment
=#00BF00]Green = Not hurt but on Inactive or Restricted List[/list:u]
So go find your favorite dudes! As per ancient coding rituals, * denotes a lefthanded pitcher or batter, and # denotes a switch-hitter.
