No. And he's not particularly young for the level. He's being BABIP'ed to death right now. Zero percent concerned.
Watch apologists for the front office say that we now have 4 top 100 prospects including a top 50 prospect.
In all seriousness, glad to see that he likes Kelenic so much. He's never been a fan of Alonso and Alonso's AAA performance is a little bit concerning. I guess we'll have to leave him there and see if he can turn it around. I still hope Alonso gets hot and we see him in Queens this year. Would be a waste of a lost season not to give him a look.
McNeil keeps getting on base and hitting. Seeing him up in Queens is one of the things I'm most looking forward to in the second half.

So in the 5 or so days since Micky's "famous" "he's just a 2B" comment, he's played 3B and LF.
It seriously seems like Callaway pissed someone off and they have a vendetta against him and are out to make him look foolish.
Or this is just Mets 101. Not sure which is worse.
I've done a 180 on the DH in the NL the past few years. Bring on the DH! Do it ASAP
I see where the Braves have placed FIVE players on the list, including 2 pitchers in the top 20.
I haven't checked the Phillies on the Top 50, but their Low A Lakewood team is tearing up the Sally League.
This is who we're competing against in the near future.
It would be akin to a contending Mets team dealing 1 of Gimenez, Alonso, or Kelenic plus "extra" guys for an MVP caliber talent, rental or not.
I doubt Machado has the same impact for the Dodgers that Cespedes had for the Mets, but that of course is hind sight.
So, if teams know they can get back two first rounders, they are going to be willing to offer a lot more for a "rental." Mets would never get Wheeler for Beltran. Nor would they get TDA, Thor and Beccera for a one-rental on Dickey.
That's why it makes very little sense to trade Degrom, Thor, or Flores. Imagine you trade Degrom and you get back TDA and Beccera. That would just be giving the guy away and getting a package of TDA and Beccera would actually be a "good" return for Degrom.
The thing I don't get is why did the small market teams ever agree to the change in compensation? The rule change so benefits big money teams like the Yankees and Dodgers.
The minors aren't loaded, but they have talent and will have another high pick next year. Plus hopefully a little more depth after the deadline.
The infield and BP each need to be totally reconfigured but 2 aces and a solid OF isn't a bad place to start.
The biggest problem with the franchise is that organizationally the management structure and development structure IS completely broken. They need to hire a GM capable of completely updating the way they do everything. And more importantly they need to be willing to do that.

Maybe this year's 2nd rounder in 4-5 years? Obviously none of those guys are close to locks, but am I right that basically anybody else is a complete long shot at this point?

technically wouldn't players like Gsellman, Lugo count - they were in 2011, but they could backfill the list above.
and Lugo is older (28), bu Gsellman is still just 25 (just turned 25 yesterday)
Not disagreeing they've done a bad job, just saying to be more thorough they should be included.
I wouldn't nitpick about leaving Flexen off your list (since he wasn't drafted in rounds 2 - 8), and he looks like garbage, but Gsellman and Lugo I'd include.

Michael Paez 2016 4th round- .694 OPS
It's one thing to flame out but to immediately but awful is a scouting issue when it continues to happen
They also often don't seem to know what they have. Turner, McHugh (McHugh for an awful Eric Young Jr. in a 74 win season? Huh? Bowman is no great shakes but he gave the Cardinals some quality innings. I antipate them losing someone like Blackham and Blackham turning into Yates 2.0

Tiberi promoted from Columbia. He was hitting .390 in his last 10 games and has .379 OBP this year.

Don't disagree with any of this, but I will point out Justin Turner was traded as a throw in in a trade by CIN and DFA'd by BAL after less than two seasons, so he was ditched by two teams before the Mets even got him.
And the Dodgers for all their foresight still only signed Turner to a minor league deal and it was like week or so before spring training. He was not what I'd call in demand.
So, on one hand they deserve some credit for claiming him, but i guess should lose credit for non-tendering him.
but like Murphy, Turner's ascent was not as predictable as revisionist history makes it seem.
times are changing, younger guys are ready to play. I'd love to see the rewards sooner.

Mets have several DHs on the team (Bruce, FLores, gimpy Cabrera, Cespedes)
