Today, we will start a new series of posts regarding my favorite time…the three days baseball that conducts their annual domestic draft.
Paul Articulates is setting up a link drop on the right side bar on the front page of the site to house these along with top prospect lists from various sites and people like mwah.
In addition, I will keep you updated with the top 20 picks (remember... the Mets pick 19th) from specific draft sites that will be added and updated on that side bar.
Capisch? (So much foreign elements in this DOMESTIC draft)
Okay... let's start off with the 2/6/2024 mock draft from:
MY MLB DRAFT
1. Nick Kurtz 1B/OF Wake Forest
2. JJ Wetherholt 2B/3B West Virginia
3. Jac Caglianone 1B/LHP Florida
4. Travis Bazzana 2B/SS Oregon State
5. Charlie Condon 1B/OF Georgia
6. Vance Honeycutt OF North Carolina
7. Mike Sirota OF Northwestern
8. Seaver King SS Wake Forest
9. Chase Burns RHP Tennessee
10. Tommy White 3B LSU
11. Josh Hartill LHP Wake Forest
12. Konner Griffin SS/OF Jackson Prep HS
13. Hagen Smith LHP Arkansas
14. PJ Morlando OF Summerville HS
15. Braden Montgomery OF/RHP Stanford
16. Brody Brecht RHP Iowa
17. Noah France 1B/LHP IMG Academy HS
18. Caleb Bonemer SS Okemus HS
19. (Mets) Cam Caminiti LHP/1B/OF. San Saquaro HS
Caminiti has a loose and easy delivery with a great pitcher's frame and overpowers hitters with a fastball that's regularly in the mid 90s. He has three promising secondaries that need further refinement, and has raw power as a hitter, though his pro future lies on the mound.
19. Thatcher Hurd RHP LSU

Mack, should be a good series.
Is Caminiti related to Ken? Grandson? For a high schooler, yes, looks good at a glance.
Boy, what a baseball family, to have named your kid Seaver King. All Hail King Seaver.
Cousins
Better than Syndergard Rabinowitz
As we still don’t know how the spring will play out and what will happen to these kids via injury or helium players appearing, it is interesting to understand for those that feel the Mets should sign the whole solar system because, hey it ain’t their hard earned money, what the difference is between the 9th player and the 19th player. What novices like me need to understand is how different the 9th player is from the 19th, and how much better the 6th would have been if the Mets were luckier and got in the top six. We can’t expect to be as lucky as Cleveland, which seems to win sports lotteries every few years…. My point is, Cohen wants to win; Cohen wants to maintain a good representation for the Mets Nation; Cohen wants to not punish the team by hurting his draft position as well as his international bonus money; he can’t have all three. I would have really punted on this year and told my fan base that this is necessary. He could have done that by trading Alonso and not signing $10.5MM defensive center fielders or $13.5MM reclamation project starters. But, if he’s willing to kick the can down the road, he better fix it by next year because Roki Sasaki will be posted after 2025 and the Mets need to be ready for him.
Gus, I thought the same today. The difference between a 9th overall pick and the 19th overall is stark, I am betting. I know in the NBA, the drop off in impact is normally considerable from #1 to #19 draft slot.
