I like that they're similarly close, so there'll be a lot to see. And we'll hopefully get to watch the development of Álvarez/Baty/Vientos/Mauricio in the meantime.

I voted for Jett. I like that the Mets were crazy enough to take a 5'6" guy (a full foot shorter than Lucas Giolito!) 14th overall in the draft, and he nonetheless has torn through the minors. I like that he might be the rare American-born guy to make his debut at 20. And I like that I thought that Jett was a lady suffragette.



He has a kinda non-descript country-boy face, though, and I suspect he may be generated by AI.

I voted for Gilbert but it was close. Jett is very intriguing.

I am looking forward to hopefully seeing all three of them soon. Ultimately, I had to go with Jett Williams. He intrigues me and I "adopted" him.

I voted Gilbert. Lenny Dykstra type without the arseholeness. And they need outfielders.

Well, in the Fan Memories section of this website, I have endorsed Grant Hartwig, Wyatt Young, Lorenzo Cedrola and Nathan Lavender, thinking they might be valuable assets for New York. Hartwig underwhelmed, Young hit .220 in the minors this year and Cedrola is no longer in the Mets system. So I'm eager to see Nate Lavender, because I want one of my endorsements to pan out.

Though among those on the list, I'm most eager to see Gilbert. I honestly thought he might've gotten a look in 2023, but it wasn't to be.

Some dark horse juice ought to go to Ryan Clifford, Mike Vasil, and Christian Scott.

Clifford mostly had a rough time after coming over from Houston, but they were reportedly reluctant to let him go and he'd prospered wherever he'd been before that despite being well younger than the league. I'm watching him close.

I just have so much eager to go around, and for the moment will spend it on the three in the poll(with the preference of Gilbert).
But the three you mention will deserve some future eager.
