No problem!
Have they brought up an impact non-pitching major leaguer since Murphy? Nimmo has been a bright spot. I guess Conforto still deserves the benefit of the doubt. Dom Smith, TDA, Plawecki all non-factors. Rosario is the real shame. I thought they were bringing up the next impact SS? Every other name I can think of has looked like nothing more than a AAAA player.
I’d be interested to know what the Mets are doing with these prospects at the minor league level to have so few impact homegrown players at regular positions in the last 10 years.
Are they drafting the wrong guys?
Are they ruining them in the development stage?

Keith Law is of the belief their drafting is middle of the pack but that their development has unknown issues (he doesn't work for the team so it's hard for him to really have his finger on the pulse)
-Jeff Paternostro believes it's more of a scouting issue. That the Mets are bare bones in their analytics department (confirmed by Adam Fisher) and draft based on college numbers vs. scouts projecting players at the next level. This does seem to show up in the sheer number of college bats they take high that are DOA from day 1.
I saw nothing from his game at the ML level. A continuation of the black hole that has been TDA, Plaw and Lobaton.
PJ Conlon was a crafty lefty, but I'm not sure if he's a starting pitcher. Might be useful as a loogy.
The Mets don't seem to be able to develop young players. Their drafting highly ranked players with their early picks, but these kids don't seem to grasp grasp what it takes to be a big leaguer. Rosario was a touted player. Dom Smith was said to be ready to play. Conforto was right up there with Schwarber....Schwarber is in the Home Run Derby, while Mikey is on vacay.
I'd settle for a defensive whiz. You know a guy who guns out runners, good pitch framer, and solid backstop.

I often wondered if proceeds were ever distributed among the various groups the MLB affiliates themselves too to sell apparel. Props to Francona for bringing awareness to this
I think you are talking minors, but I like Mesoraco and hope they can extend. They also used the largest portion of their international signing money to Francisco Alvarez, the Venezuelan catcher, so knock on wood he develops. He's only 16, and I know you already know all this Dan, but just for the good of the discussion, at 16 he's 6'3" and 213 lbs, wow that's a big boy!

don't see a clear starting MLB catcher in the system. Ali Sanchez and Manea are probably the top 2. I'm not counting 16 year old Alvarez. He's 5+ years away.

Yeah I'm talking about the minor league system. Alvarez is at least 5 years away if not more. He's not the kid who is 6'3 213, that's the OF they signed Freddy Valdez. Alvarez is 5'11
At 5-foot-11 and 220 pounds, Alvarez is a strong prospect with a stocky build and an offense-oriented set of tools. He has a reputation for hitting well in games, which speaks to his emerging hit tool. He also shows power now and the potential for more in the future. Like most young catching prospects, Alvarez is not known for his running ability.
The teenager’s bat stands out more than his glovework at the moment, but he has also shown a good arm and solid defensive actions behind the plate. He is expected to improve on his overall defensive game once he signs with a team and receives daily instruction at a club’s academy.

Yeah, I agree but he did get fired. So, he paid a price. He probably needs to start another career because I don't think any team will hire him.
He had a few misplays when he first came up. But after he settled down, he showed he was a very good defensive catcher. He has thrown out 50% of basestealers this year at AA and AAA.
He has only allowed 13 stolen bases all year in the minors. So basically teams don't run against him.
With the Mets, he threw out 5 of 15 with a pitching staff notorious for not holding runners. Also, I believe he threw out 5 of the last 11, meaning once he got his feet wet, he took away the stolen base as a weapon.
So, while I agree he is nothing more than a backup, he is good defensively.
Non prospect
Quote:
given I've yet to read anything resembling a scouting report on Oscar Rojas I assume he's not much of a prospect but happen to know anything? on the season 25.2 innings 18 hits 3 walks 26 k's 3.16 era. Career 61 k's vs. 5 walks #Mets
Non prospect
i trust this. Shecky is bullish on the Mets minor league grounds crews, bullpen catchers and bat boys. When he says non-prospect, it's legit.
Even during the early-mid 90’s bad teams, at least the farm system had some pretty solid future MLB talent to mess around with.
Eventually the tide has to shift on this organization to a successful run.
