was ranked the #61 prospect in baseball going into 2019, there was obviously no 2020 minor league season and was traded to the Mets in 2021, so he unarguably would be a top 50 prospect in the Mets system right now without hindsight telling us he would flame out and was a moron.
The list GF provided said it was from Jan 2022. 2021 he went 8-18 in SBs in AAA, and struck out 13 out of 18 ABs in his major league debut. Much of his luster was off by then.
IMO, I would rank Morabito and Parada right now ahead of where I would have Lee in Jan. 2022. And that's not with hindsight
Khalil Lee posted a 162 wRC+ with 14 homers and 8 steals in AAA in 2021 over 102 games. 18.3% BB rate, this is very much revisionist to suggest a player with that line wouldn't be in the Mets *top 50* c'mon, that's just ridiculous.

if we went by healthy and performing pretending baty/alvarez/mauricio were out, Lee, Vientos, Ramirez would have probably been the 3 we were talking about most at this point 2 years ago. Lee tanked obviously but 2 years ago he was 23 and i think at some point during the year his numbers in AAA were at least passable.
with the system like that it's no wonder mangum got hyped lol.
Red flags and all, we'd be talking about him a whole lot in 2021 with a 162 wRC+, 18.2 BB% even with his perceived "4th OFer" likely ceiling. He LED the league in wRC+ and OBP. He wasn't just "good", he led the league in both categories. 4th in OPS, 11th in slugging. He had an outstanding season and was only 23 at the time. Clearly, that didn't translate to MLB success.
.274/.451/.500 with a 162 wRC+ as a 23 year old in the IL makes 100% of top 50 lists, including the best system in baseball.

Senger stopped hitting and even at his best likely wasn't a starter so unless you really loved the glove there wasn't much of a top 50 argument but if Luis Alvarez, a 21 year old RHP with a career line of 13.1 innings 18 hits 17 walks 14 k's 11.48 era comes in at #38 (yes really), then beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Nobody is taking Luis Alvarez over Nick Morabito.
Though Nunez was on there at 28 years old, and he's looked the part.

De Oca could be back in late July (he too has had TJ twice)

Clifford's iso in AA is now back to where he was in A+ with Houston last year (.267). Guess he just really hated Brooklyn. His 4 homers/4 doubles (8 xbh) in 19 games at AA are pacing well ahead of his 7 homers (+ 10 doubles) in 63 games in Brooklyn over the 2 seasons. the K-rate is too high and his BABIP is .200, so there are contact issues but for him to have value it starts with the power showing up and a 60+ xbh pace over a season is good.
baez descending k-rates as his power increases is a good look too. he's hitting .268 but with a .290 babip, and as a high ev guy with some assumed speed since he has 8 steals (?), there's nothing that lucky looking in his statline.

From Clifford and Baez tonight.

Baez really seems like the real deal. I would think they'll get him to Brooklyn soon with all these numbers but maybe they want him to work on his D or something.
Clifford looking better at AA even though the BA isn't currently due to the K issues and low BABIP. The last few games he's starting to strike out less so let's see if this continues. Let's also not forget he's only 20 so if he needs a full year at AA he is still young for the league so wouldn't be a big deal to me if he is still there at this time next season. There's a good deal of projection in the bat but you can see the tools are there and he might be someone who need to move a little slow as he puts it together.
is the question who is trade bait?
right now if mets were buyers, it would probably be of relief pitching, which fortunately isn't usually that expensive. i.e. robertson last year cost vargas. and if the RP in question is expensive, the price could even less like Iglesias a few years ago.
the guys id be willing to dangle if they were buying would be the former higher ranked guys who are struggling hoping to find another gm willing to roll the dice on prior pedigree like parada and ramirez. vasil/jarvis are 2 tradeable arms that have had some buzz before. for a really good RP with multiple years of control i'd consider trading houck.
if they had some kind of big deal they wanted to do for a player they cant otherwise get, let's say they love luzardo, that's the type of deal id be willing to include baty in as a headliner. but i dont personally think they should do that type of deal. id just plan to sign fried or burnes in the offseason and keep baty.
i havent looked deeply at who may be avail on the trade market as buyers (for obvious reasons) but in terms of every day players i dont think id be shopping for anything beyond bench upgrades. and i would probably be trying to sell marte.
Prospect for prospect? That's usually when a player is underwhelming and the same can be said for a prospect in another org doing the same. That list would start with Parada.
Walk rate down, k rate up, ISO nearly identical to last season. Coming up on almost 200 games of this level of production. Would not be surprised to see him moved in a very minor trade to a team that believes they can fix his swing

would think if the mets are trying to add a mark canha type, there will be a team out there willing to consider him jarvis-ish. or maybe more of an eduardo escobar/dominic leone type of move. a replacement level type depth player.
vasil, ramirez, hamel or something like that for a legitimate RP.
i dont remember what atlanta gave up for iglesias beyond eating his money, but im pretty sure it was less than that. not sure there is any team out there desperate enough to dump that much $ though.

Jett Williams had surgery on his right wrist Thursday, the Mets announced. They called it a “TFCC debridement procedure.”
They say it usually takes 8-10 weeks to return from that.

hopefully this is a simple cleanup procedure that solves it. bummer for sure but hopefully he can at least get some game action in late season.

Thank you for family friends, and fans for everything!! Dr, Sheridan did a great job expecting to be ready to go here soon!! God has a plan and we will be have soon!! Proverbs 3:5-6
he could be a fall league candidate too right? in which case the regular season can almost be setup for that, which is generally considered good comp level right? like AA+?

I'd have to think he will 100% be the perfect candidate for AFL this year to get more ABs. Lately I think it's been about high A-AA level.
meanwhile MLBtv which I do have wont cover the London game tomorrow.
Like what the fck
We are about 3 years away from playoffs/championship games being exclusive to streaming services.

It's on YES. For Comcast at least.
McLean pitched Tuesday. No injury today
his hr/fb% isn't wildly lucky right now though you can see at A+ it was wildly below the rest of his averages. looks like promoting him was the right decision.
now has 9 total XBH in 22 AA games after posting 7 in 31 games at A+ and 10 in 32 games at A+ last year. his current 70+ xbh pace would be very good obviously, though better if he could bring down the k's and increase the batting avg. duda's best year was 60 xbh.
if we normalized his hr/fb% to 20% at a+, he'd have hit 4-5 hrs, so my guess is he lost at least 2 or 3 to the park. if there's 1 guy i wish we had a full statcast on it's him, id bet there were some long flyball outs which made their promotion decision a lot simpler.
Vargas thing is so weird as well. Still active but hasn't played since May 28.

no word on Parada's injury

It's strange. This is now the 3rd time this has happened with him this season, he's been on the IL twice (both following periods of not playing).
@evstockton
Mike Brosseau joined the @SyracuseMets
at the start of May. In his first week, he went 1-for-18.
In 25 games since, he’s batting .404 with seven home runs & an OPS of 1.193 🤯
The pride of @OaklandBSB
and @GoldenGrizzlies
may be the hottest hitter in all of baseball right now.
