Do Ye's Know Where Ye's Children Are?

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.

Wow. That took a lot of work. Very kool and informative.

Thank you.

This site is the shit-dot-com! It'll be even better when the 2019 AAA Mets are here locally in my backyard.

Re: Do Ye's Know Where Ye's Children Are?

I'm just damn tired of seeing L.J. Mazzilli stuck at AA. My goal is to live long enough to see him in a Met uniform, hopefully in his dad's old pants.

I have a weird mental block where I keep being surprised that Mazzilli isn't a switch-hitter like his dad, and that J.J. Franco isn't a lefty, as if handedness was in any way genetic.

And even though I laugh at myself and realize how stupid that is, and that Franco is a middle infielder, so of course he isn't a lefty, when I read that the Fireflies ran out of pitchers once or twice and called for J.J. out of the pen like his old man, part of me still thought, "Well, surely, he pitches lefty."

I love this sentiment. But his dads old pants? Ewww. Unless they have been well kept and washed. And I guess he couldn't wear his dads old jersey.

How far off is he?--I'll look--The New York Mets selected Mazzilli in the fourth round of the 2013 MLB draft.
In August 2016, the Mets promoted Mazzilli to the Las Vegas 51s of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League.
Should be due soon.
WikiP: During the 2014–15 offseason, Minor League Baseball suspended Mazzilli for the first 50 games of the 2015 season for his second positive test for a "drug of abuse".

A "drug of abuse"? WTF? If a guy tests positive name the drug! Ugh, I'm sure it's some kind of arrangement with the MLBPA that they can't, but that's stupid. Is it a performance enhancer? Did he puff on a joint at a barbecue three weeks ago? Come on. Be transparent.


Sr. wore #16 and #13, right? What number is Jr. currently wearing?? Cabby's got 13 but I do think 16 is available. Maybe we see him up this season after the break rockin' #16!

Also, I can photoshop him into a Mets MLB uni if you can't wait. And, if you insist, wearing his dads old saggy over-washed pants from whatever year matches best.

Re: Do Ye's Know Where Ye's Children Are?

Mazzilli may have hit AAA August 5, 2016, but he was back in Bingo by August 20.

April 20, 2017, as the 51s had to restock the injured Mets infield, he returned to Vegas. TIME TO STICK, L.J.! But no, he was back a few weeks later, May 13. And that was it for his Vegas trips in 2017. A total of 16 games.

You'd like to see the window open for a Vegas assignment at the start of 2017, or at least first in line for a callup, but no, even with Matt Reynolds gone, L.J. is no more than third on the Bingo infield depth chart.

He played a lot of outfield last season, so may that'll help him out of the log jam this season, but he's running out of time. The good news is that he may get a lot of time to get to know Tim Tebow this season.

Re: Do Ye's Know Where Ye's Children Are?

Note that the order guys appear in their groups above is based more or less on how productive their 2017 season was (or their 2016, if they missed 2017), and therefore on how they rank in the group this season. So when you see the Vegas outfielders listed:

[list:ie7f4tql]Zach Borenstein*
Kevin Kaczmarski*
Jayce Boyd
Kevin Taylor*
John Mora*[/list:u:ie7f4tql]
It means to suggest that Borenstein is in the best position to go up, and Mora in the most vulnerable position to get overcome from below. Inaccuracies, however, will abound.

Re: Do Ye's Know Where Ye's Children Are?

The Las Vegas outfield was the first category I looked at. I have a feeling that one of them might spend some time in April in Queens.
