Being a lefty, I love lefties.
Reggie Crawford might be an interesting gamble. If he can't pitch, he can hit. Hopefully, his arm bounces back and he's throwing 100 healthily again.
There is so much talent in this draft.
The Rocker fiasco should stear us away from taking another chance with a top pick.
noah Shultz looks like a prospect the mets growing analytics Dept will look at. where do you think he gets drafted? sup pick? with all our top 100 picks should swing for the fences in talent
I would say 2nd round.
I don’t really care if the rotation has lefty’s in it but we could used a influx of lefty arms that can be in the bullpen
So in later rounds hopefully we can find some potential arms
I remember the leatherstick (I know I a. Butchering the spelling) but he was expected to be a big arm but did nothing
