The Future

Baseball America has been releasing their rating of the top 20 prospects in each minor league over the past few weeks. Here are the Mets prospects on those lists: IL: None EL: 9 Andres Giminez SS, 11 Anthony Kay LP (traded in the Marcus Stroman deal) FSL: None SAL: 5 Ronny Muricio SS NYPL: None Appy: 2 Brett Baty, 3B, 10. Jaylen Palmer, SS/3B (a local Queens kid), 12. Junior Santos, RHP GCL: None BVW has a lot of work to do to restock the pipeline. Later

I think the primary problem on this front is borne OF BVW's work-- we've traded away, like, four first-rounders for Cano, Diaz, and Stroman.

Yup. We did this while infielders were available just for money. When tons of relief pitchers were available just for money. And now there are two legitimate aces and a few 1A type aces available on the market. Just for money.

I don't mind the Stroman deal nearly as much as the Cano/Diaz deal, which was entirely foolish.

Centerfield Oct 14 2019 01:35 PM Re: The Future

Yeah. I think I'm just sour grapes on that one. Coupled with a few bullpen pieces and that could have been great for us.

The thing that bothers me about Kay for Stroman is that Kay could presumably fight for a rotation slot (he was already starting for TOR) and could become one of the bullpen pieces we say we need. Same with Dunn too
