FANGRAPHS - Ranking the Minor League Systems by Impact: #1-15 - Mets - #13 - Observations



13 – New York Mets

- IMPACT (3) – C Travis d’Arnaud, RHP Rafael Montero, RHP NOAH SYNDERGAARD
- Other 2013 Impact – RHP Zack Wheeler (MLB)

- Strength/Weakness – Small, but very solid impact group is a strength, and 1B Dominic Smith is right behind them. Overall OF pickings are pretty slim, as is starting pitching depth behind the two impact guys.

- Depth Ratio – 1.02

- One I Like More – RF Cesar Puello – Betting that he’ll remain productive after a 50-game PED suspension. There is serious power/speed potential here.

- One I Like Less – SS Gavin Cecchini – Don’t like him nearly as much as brother Garin. Has been very ordinary in two rookie ball seasons to date. Below average power and speed, limited physical projection – I’m not seeing the impact.

- Observation – Solid depth at the lower end of the system, one of the game’s pitching prospects in Syndergaard, and an immediate regular MLB catcher with bat potential is just enough to sneak the Mets into the top half of the rankings. Could drop a ways next year.

Mack - I'm happy being ranked 13th and, yes, the team will drop because of all the 2014 graduates on this list. 

I'm expecting to see the names Steven Matz and Kevin Plawecki on this analysis next year, plus whoever is picked overall.
