A lot of high schoolers taken after the Mets picked and
there are some great names still on the board. With ten picks to go before the
Mets supplemental pick (“The Reyes pick”), here are the players still available
who look interesting (with my mock selection in parentheses):
Lance McCullers (9)
Richie Shaffer (13)
Joey Gallo (16)
Matt Smoral (20)
Stephen Piscotty (23)
Ty Hensley (25)
Stryker Trahan (26)
Chris Beck (28)
Zach Eflin (29)
Brian Johnson (30)
Victor Roache (31)
Walker Weickel (32)
Lewin Brinson (33)
Clint Coulter (35)
Along with the following players who are all projected
around the late first through early second: Carson Kelly, Travis Jankowski, Nolan Fontana, Pierce Johnson, Tanner
Rahier, Rio Ruiz, Adam Brett Walker, Hunter Virant, Kenny Diekroger, Trey
Williams.
That is 26 players who would all be nice picks at #35. A lot
will happen in the next ten picks so stay tuned to see where the Mets look with
their second selection.
Come on Mets, have some balls, pony up and grab Roache or McCullers if they're still around.
ReplyDeleteNo more McCullers, unless someone wants to waste a pick. If there's a god, Smoral falls. I actually had him as one of my favorites for #12 before I did a whole lot of research.
ReplyDeleteWell there goes Trahan
ReplyDeleteTrahan gone is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteCoulter gone is not. That is the guy I wanted at #35.
McCullers will NOT sign at 35. He is going to college without a doubt.
Smoral, Jankowski, Barrios, Brinson, Beck, Gallo, Hensley, Eflin should be the guys we're looking at now.
IDK Stephan...money talks....look at Phil Evans last year.
ReplyDeleteIf Smoral, Gallo, Janko, Eflin are all there, who do you guys take?
ReplyDeleteBetween Smoral and Jankowski out of those mentioned there.
ReplyDeleteI also like C Mathisen and P Barrios at that spot as well as a dark horse pick, HS LHP Hunter Virant.
