69 vs our 10? and still waiting for the last 4 years drafts? We could be in serious battles in this division withe the Nats and ATL and Phils loading up...
ReplyDeleteVery true and an indicator of let face it poor drafts when you look at the talent drafted AFTER our first rounds picks. Now Sandy has done a fairly good job with some free agents and trades but just plain got lucky with Cespedes 3 times now with this upcoming season to be decided. The problem is were not going to see the push overs like the Phils and Braves again and the Nats will be down right scary if they add Sale so our pitching better be great if we're thinking of serious run to the WS. The other issue is the front office just isn't aggressive enough and for example the trade of Shelby Miller still gets under my skin when you think what the Braves got for a #3, at best pitcher, we certainly should have been at least talking to the Dbacks. They also missed out on dealing Harvey right after the WS as knowing then they weren't signing him and his value would not be higher.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's possible to increase that number by 4-6 prospects should they trade both Granderson and Bruce for young talent.
ReplyDeleteClear evidence of the Mets' gosh-awful drafting over the past 15 years.
