Where
The Hell Are All The Pitchers Going to Play?

We did this earlier in the off-season, but it needs
updating.
I’ve reduced this to two steps.
One – place the Mets prospect starters and relievers
on the proper team at the proper time in their development:
AAA – SP: Jeurys Familia, Chris Schwinden, Colin McHugh
RP: Robert Carson, Josh
Stinson, Elvin Ramirez
AA – SP: Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler, Darin Gorski
RP: Josh Edgin , Michael Powers, Nick Carr
A+ SP: Cory Mazzoni, Logan Verrett, Tyler Pill
RP: Jack Leathersich, Hamilton Bennett, Chase Huchingson
A – SP: Akeel Morris, Juan Urbina, Domingo Tapia
RP: T.J. Chism, Todd Weldon, Steve Winnick
Okay, we have the four full season teams, three
starters and three relievers each.
Good start.
Now, all we need is eight more starters and 16
reliever. That’s a total of 24 pitchers.
Here’s the pool:
Jeremy Hefner, Armondo Rodriguez, Gonzalez Germen, Rafael Montero, Brett
Mitchell, Julian Hilario, Andres E.Perez, Tobi Stoner, Scott Moviel, Yohan
Almonte, Erik Goeddel, Brian Valenzuela, Zack Dotson, Luis Rengel, Mark Cohoon, Kyle Allen, Taylor Whitenton, Eduardo
Aldama, Miller Diaz, Craig Missigman, Persio
Reyes, Jeff Stevens, Adrian Rosario, Gonzalez
Germen, Mark Picca, Chad Sheppard, Carlos Gomez, Martires Arias, Chuck James, Brad
Holt, Angel Cuan, Tyson Seng, Jared West, Robert Lake, Nadir Crismatt, Erik
Turgeon, Estarlin Morel, Ryan Fraser, Hunter Carnevale, Chasen Bradford, Peter
Birdwell, , Jesus Lugo, Eric Beaulac, Jeff Kaplan, Ronny Moria, Mike Hebert, Ernesto
Yanez, Luis Cessa, Dylan Owen, Brandon Sage, Adam Kolarek, Hansel Robles, Ken McDonald, Shane Bay, Eric Niesen, John Church, Brant
Rustich, Darwin Frias, Rainy Lara, Adam
O'Neill, Jack Egbert, Greg Peavey, Carlos Vasquez, Issac Monrroy, Mathew
Budgell, Garrett Olsen, Casey Hauptman, Beck Wheeler, Richard Ruff, Jeremy
Gould, Miller Diaz, John Gant, Chris Hilliard,
Dustin Emmons, Michael Fulmer, Steve Matz, Jeff Walters, Jacob Lugo, Christian
Montgomery, Alex Panteliodis, Randy Fontanez, Edioglis Villasmil, Marcos
Camarena, Gabriel Ynoa, Alberto Baldonado, Jenrry Mejia (IR), Mitch Houck (IR),
Brandon Moore (suspension), James Fuller (IR), Luis Mateo.
As you can see, there is no way in hell all these
guys are going to be around.
I don’t know where to begin.
I mean, Dylan Owen aced winter ball, Taylor
Whitenton and Greg Peavey earned a slot, and you have to give one to Johnny
Pants, right?
Now I have to pick four more starters from the 20+
that are left?
Anybody want to chime in here?

Heck, we have enough arms to field at least one or two more minor league teams.............eh, never mind!
Joking aside, it is sort of a nice problem to have, I guess. But, it makes you wonder how many of those guys are just "filler" types (i.e. not really prospects).
Maybe it is time to cull the herd a bit? Maybe Sandy can get creative and make a trade or two for some parts we don't have (catcher)?
Plus, we have the upcoming draft in June where you know some of the high picks we have accumulated will be filled with more pitchers.
Interesting.....Mike
Oh, the herd will be cut...
the interesting part is there are some decent arms in that herd...
a name I'll throw out to remember...
Christian Montgomery
you know I do the mock draft thing in the past... Montgomery was a 1st round pick in 10 out of the first 10 mock drafts that came out beginning the week after the 2010 draft.
He then had a horrible start to his senior year in high school, was shut down a la Matt Purke, and went on whatever a high school team calls an IR.
I was thriled when the Mets picked him but never expected him to sign. he did on the last day eligible.
Built like a bulldog. Makes Sid Fernandez look like Manute Bol.
The ones with the highest ceilings will have slots. Plus, some talented "pitchers". Peavey, Fulmer, Owen, Goeddel, and Whitenton should and will most likely have spots. I'm curious about Matz, Mateo, and Armando Rodriguez aswell. Montgomery will probably be short season...Fulmer and Matz aswell. Rustich, also, will have a relief role too I would assume.
Armondo pitched in the pen all winter... one inning stints... lights out, by the way
Matz has fell off the face of the earth... canceled all social media
Mateo looks exicitng but it's too soon to tell
