if you dont think the Mets care about winning at Brooklyn, you neednt look much further than how many high performing/low ceiling college kids they are popping even into the teens
I saw him knocking them yesterday about drafting catchers but it made very little sense because I'd love to hear him articulate a strategy for finding good catchers. There are like 6 good catchers in all of baseball. Nobody can find good catchers because they barely exist.

They will sign and that is part of how St. Louis built their team - Matt Carpenter was a 13th Round College Senior
small HS pitcher expected to go MUCH later who tops off at 91 and is small, Adolph, back to back college relievers (one of which is about to be...24!!) and a local kid catcher who will surely be the Cyclones C #Upside
We shall see who else they take but they have yet to take a single player who is a ?? if he will sign. Not one.
Smith and Hill I think will get a chance to start in the minors just because you need starters between Brooklyn, Kingsport, and Gulf Coast League. They might be relievers in the long term, but that happens. At least we are not targeting the glut of college relievers even before the senior signs/Day 3
Not HS... NCAA SS.
Back from 2012 and all years prior in recorded history, draft picks from rounds 11 - 20 had just an 11% chance of even reaching the major leagues.
Picks from round 20 - 40 have just a 7% chance.
Additionally, from 2000 - 2010 first round picks in the 6 - 10 range had a 65% chance of being busts. That's the first round picks #6 to pick #10.
Doesn't mean not to put your team in the best position to buck the odds, but at this point you're lamenting 7th round NFL draft picks.
these guys are likely never going to see Citifield unless they buy a ticket.

College relievers are a bad bet. Nowhere to go from there. At least with SP there is a chance a move to the pen results in an uptick of stuff or less of a need for a 3rd pitch (or even command).
So maybe a starting pitcher has more upside, but a reliever had a better chance of simply making the big leagues.
I guess it depends what you want.
Point is the 16th round MLB draft super star is about as rare as the franchise QB in round 5.

Day 3, I would rather take a college reliever with 1 plus pitch versus a starter who is mediocre across the board
23 in August, solid numbers at a small school

Not sure if they plan on going over $125K to Parra or going overslot to SWR, but otherwise nothing stands out to me. I think it was Shecky or Seth who criticized me for complaining about the lack of spending by the Mets on the draft
any high profile ones? not that that's the end all be all, like you mentioned a hoarding strategy spreading around above slot dollars would be another way to go as long as they spend somewhere.
That would make him draft eligible next year. In some ways I would rather a low level D1 program who lacks a track record of high picks than a CC

Not really high profile, although one is a 6'7" prep arm who was in BA's Top 500 that sounds somewhat intriguing, and another is from Brooklyn so maybe the lure of playing for a New York team might lead to the numbers working out
Great news. Now they can open the bar at Sterling Equities holiday party.
Slot is $125K and no savings that you can use elsewhere if you go under so not sure the point unless they were afraid someone would snatch him up and they had a number of other players they ranked similarly that they were not disappointed if went elsewhere
The progress made by our 24th Round pick (Senger) is interesting, but like Matt Duce last year I am not sure how readily he will sign being that Meyer and Capra will almost assuredly sign so he will be stuck behind both whereas as a Senior he may get less money but be a team's first catcher drafted

Another NC prep RHP off the board in Zachary Hammer. Catawba Valley CC recruit. 6-3, 170 has good stuff, but can be wild. CB is a power pitch and FB peaked at 92 this spring. #Mets #mlbdraft

Wow. Gonzalez is huge
Rank: 401
A big, 6-foot-7, 230-pound righthander, Gonzalez is an arm strength power pitcher with a fastball that has been up to 95-96 mph this spring. Scouts think that he can eventually throw in the upper 90s, but he has a long arm stroke and no breaking ball to speak of presently. During games this spring, Gonzalez pitched off of his fastball almost exclusively and would throw just one breaking ball in some looks. Hes also a below-average athlete. An Alabama State commit, Gonzalez is thought to be a tough sign, and while a team might bite on a future 70-grade fastball, it could be a tough sell without much in the way of secondary offerings.
The poor athlete stuff is likely more of a turnoff than the breaking ball in all honesty.
Undrafted. Keith Law laid out why... he tried hiding the fact this happened vs. being honest. Could have cost people their jobs.

Either way I didn't want the Braves to draft him or even sign him as an UDFA. There was a few tweets claiming that there were a couple of teams that might take a chance on him but I had a hard time believing it.
But I admire his maneuver.

I dont know how different the reaction to Luke Heimlich would be if he was repentant, an advocate for victims, not running a huge PR campaign that blows up an issue he claims he pled out to keep private, etc., but I do know it would be different.

I had no idea he was doing this. Wow that makes his action that much worse. He clearly has no remorse for what he has done and I wouldn't allow him in my franchise even if he was the next Clayton Kershaw.
