It’s different. It’s “valuation” which assigns $ value projections.

Longenhagen said they were “inside his top 10”, Law had them in the teens pre draft so roughly the same as Longenhagen if I were guessing

Updated has Mets 11 post draft

Baltimore #1, Cleveland Pittsburgh Cubs Rays their top 5

single for Jett

Yup. Not to be outdone, Rhlyan Thomas collects his first professional hit as well, Estep a walk and a single in his first game, KV with *3* hits… kid is absolutely on fire . @mets reportedly very high on him despite “non sexy” tools #Met

Don't sleep on RHP Robert Colina (7.99 era in St. Lucie and all). He's struck out 57 over 43.2 combined innings with a BABIP over .400!! Still only 21

Colina 3 innings 1 hit 0 runs 0 walks 3 k's, Luis Rodriguez 1 perfect 1 K. The *other* Luis Rodriguez is one of 4 intriguing
@mets
prospects who should be returning from TJ next season (Allan, Dominguez, Ross, LHH Luis Rodriguez)

Update: Williams 1-3, single, rbi, walk, Estep 1-3, BB, K, error, Thomas 1-4, Rodriguez pro-debut 3 innings 1 hit 4 k's. Perozo 2 run homer, Colina 3 innings 3 k's, Villavicencio 3 hits, 2B and a SB #Mets

FCL Nats score 3 in the 9th off of Palacios to bring the Nats within 1, so Endy Chavez (yes, that Endy) calls for Kolby Kubichek (cue the trumpets) to try and close this one out

Crazy ending to the game, Kubichek strikes out Eliesel Santana, and the runner on 3rd, broke for home and was tagged out to end the game. Kubichek's era drops to 1.15 (promote the man!), Endy pushes the right buttons (heir apparent to Buck? Mostly kidding) #Mets

Kolby Kubichek has allowed 2 runs over 10 appearances in the FCL. He was @mets 18th round pick in 2021. rough go of it in the FSL last season, but he appears ready for another shot at it (23 in November)

Thanks Dan for always making these threads. They're must-reads for me. Really appreciate it. I always enjoy reading them. Here's a nice article about Brett Baty.

When I was 11 I became obsessed with reading the 1992 Mets yearbook which he bios, scouting reports and numbers of their “top” prospects. DJ Dozier sounded like the next Bo Jackson haha. I later Met Jeromy Burnitz (who was in the yearbook as a prospect) and told him about it

Promoted from FCL to FSL.

Nice! I go way back too. I must admit to something: I turned off the TV when Gam 6 of the 86 WS was on and the Mets were down to their last out. My 9-year old brain and heart couldn't bear to see that team lose after the season they had. Boy did I learn a lesson from that, lol!

P.S. My buddy Giovanni was in the "LET'S GO METS!" video from '86 (he's the Dominican kid in glasses on the far right at the 55 second mark).

lol. I'll tell what: Gid got me two years later in Game 4of the '88 NLCS @ Shea when Scioscia hit that Home Run offa Doc cuz Dumbass Davey left him in the game too long in the 9th despite having Lights Out Randy Myers in the Bullpen. 34 years later and I still haven't recovered from that shit!

Mom to this day accuses me of being a bad fan when they are down 5-6 runs late and I turn it off haha

Congrats to Jeffrey Colon. Colon has been promoted to @BKCyclones. 3rd in the organization in FIP (30+ innings)

13. Francisco Alvarez, C, Mets
I’m low on Alvarez relative to the population. He has a 37% Z minus O swing rate in Triple-A but has managed to run a high walk rate which is where almost all of his run production has come from. Doesn’t look sustainable. Has .195 xBA in Triple-A, but the raw power is where he’s getting most of his love as he hits the ball hard; has a 90th EV > 105 mph and a Max > 110 mph. His power is plus, he lifts with authority and could hit 25–30 HR, if he doesn’t hit for power though it’ll be a rough offensive profile. He’s an average reciever with a below-average arm, I think he’ll split time at C and 1B and sit right around a 105 wRC+ for the majority of his career with peaks around 115. It all hinges on him hitting for power.


22. Brett Baty, 3B, Mets
Baty has improved a lot in his extended time in Binghamton. His power is real and could produce upwards of 25 in the MLB. He’s making plenty of contact in the zone and has around average swing decisions. He’s improved in the field which is a big development for him as he won’t have to move over to 1B. I think he can hold his own in LF and at third. His contact quality is elite and he’s posted a Max EV above 114 mph.

64. Kevin Parada, C, Mets
Parada was 6th overall on my ’22 board. He’s a catcher in a world where we’re expecting robot umps, making his position an offensive one. But because the entire profile revolves around the offensive tools, it probably doesn’t affect him as much as his peers. His arm is below-average, and he’s a below-average receiver. Parada’s approach is aggressive, as a result he swings at a lot of good pitches, as well as some of the bad ones. The positive is that his bat-to-ball skills allow for some decision-making error, and he can get away with poor swings. His batted ball numbers are good and he’s exceptionally good at creating the ideal attack angles to match pitches in order to connect with the bottom portion of the ball. It’s a high-end offensive profile at C/1B/LF.


97. Alex Ramirez, OF, Mets
Ramirez is just 19 and has a 67% Z minus O swing rate in High-A. It hasn’t translated into walks just yet, but I think that’ll come over time. He’s a CF with some speed and above-average power. Contact quality in High-A has been much better than in Low-A. Plenty of upside on the offensive side.

Fanas 2-2, 3B, 2 walks, (easily his best game as a pro)
