Mack - The 20 Mets Prospects I Take In An Expansion Draft



This is not a ranked prospect list.

 It is what I would do if there was an expansion draft and I had to pick 20 current members of the Mets minor league system to keep around and build an organization on.

 Obviously, I consider these players the best at what they do vs. the rest of the players in the system.

 Just thought you'd be curious to see where my head was at.


1.   C    Kevin Plawecki - nobody in this organization, either as a future player or trade chip, is more valuable

2.   RHSP Noah Syndergaard - having a tough year but still the only Mets pitcher that could challenge Matt Harvey for the SP1 slot

3.   2B  Dilson Herrera - this is your 2016 second baseman

4.   SS  Amed Rosario - 
 - this is your 2018 shortstop

5.   LHSP Steven Matz - the latest you will be Matz enter the Mets rotation is when Jon Niese's contract runs out

6.    OF  Brandon Nimmo - the 2016 left fielder

7.   RHRP Rafael Montero - trade chip or future pen specialist

8.    OF Michael Conforto - not my choice, but should be ready in 2017

9.   RHSP Marcos Molina - the highest ceiling in the organization

10.       LHRP Jack Leathersich - potentially a future all-star if he can stop walking people

11.        SS Wilson Flores - I need someone to play short until Rosario would be ready

12.         OF Wuilmer Beccera - wild card future starting outfielder in 2018

13.         3B Dustin Lawley - has power potential to move David Wright to first base

14.       1B     Dominic Smith - 2017's first baseman if Wright stays at third

15.       RHSP Gabrial Gnoa - tremendous future trade chip

16.       RHSP Michael Fulmer - everything depends on his future health

17.       RHRP Akeel Morris - looks like the second coming of Leathersich, minus the walks

18.       RHRP Jeff Walters - potentially the best reliever in the system if he heals properly

19.       RHSP Robert Whalen - second highest ceiling to Molina

20.       RHRP Cory Mazzoni - another potential trade chip

 (additional players that didn't make the cut)
21.       3B Eudro Garcia
22.       RHSP Logan Taylor
23.       RHSP Blake Taylor
24.      LHRP Adam Kolarek
25.       RHRP Jeremy Hefner
26.       RHRP Jose Medina
27.       RHRP Randy Fontanez
28.       RHRP Paul Sewald
29.       RHRP Dario Alvarez
30.         SS  Phillip Evans
31.         SS Luis Guillourme
32.         SS  Wilson Ramos
33.        C      Brandon Brosher
34.        1B    Michael Katz
35.         3B Jhoan Urena
36.       RHSP Luis Mateo
37.       RHSP Corey Oswadt
38.       RHSP Casey Meisner
39.         SS  Matt Reynoylds
40.         SS  Gavin Cecchini
41.         3B Jeff McNeil
42.       RHSP Miller Diaz
43.       RHSP John Gant
44.         2B  LJ Mazzilli
45.       RHRP Jack Thornton
46.       RHRP Chase Bradford
47.       RHRP John Church
48.       C Juan Centeno

    What, no Andrew Brown? Just kidding Mack. Good list. Danny Muno, who is not in there, has to be in my top 25. In AA and AAA since June of last year, 616 plate appearances, 105 runs, 77 RBIs, .275 with a .391 on base %, 22 doubles and 17 HRs. "Just" 96 K's (1 for every 6.2 at bats is good for this day and age.)

    I'd bump Walters down - until he proves he is healthy and can perform at AAA.

    Sad to see no Puello in the list. And good to see there are two taylors in the same neighborhood.

    Morning Thomas -

    Well, once again, you've turned my chicken into chicken shit :)

    I like Muno but I don't see him as a major league player. It's just me,

    You already know my opinion about your obsession with minor league stats.

    As for Puello, I consider his a total flop at this point.

    I understand your thoughts on Walters, Maybe I should rethink my position on him, but it's just a list.
