What a weird start

Mack Ade said...

Colorado going Holliday

Eddie from Corona said...

Holiday was made for Colorado

Happy Washington didn’t get that too lefty starter

Mack Ade said...

Draft is settling down to projected.players

Eddie from Corona said...

Run on SS

Mack Ade said...

My two wants at 1.38

LHSP Kruz Schoolcraft

CF Cam Cannarella

Eddie from Corona said...

Hey Mack while it’s slow
Quick question
Paul skenes for
Tong
McLean
Jett
Acuna
Clifford

Is that enough? It took me to finally be willing to give up both McLean and tong (would rather it be sproat)

But at this point I am trying to hold on to Benge

Mack Ade said...

That's how ir works

One or two come off the board and you panic that all the good ones will be gone when you are about to make your second puck

Mack Ade said...

Pirates wouldn't trade for Ohtani and 5 other Dodgers

Mack Ade said...

In three years the Pirares are going to have the best rotation in baseball

Eddie from Corona said...

Personally I think we should either trade for a premium player with control
Or keep McLean tong and benge

To me premier is skenes, Gunnar Henderson, churios, woo, maybe mason miller


Something like that

Mack Ade said...

See?

Gavin Fein to Rangers

Should be around 20-25th

SS run continues

Eddie from Corona said...

Bubba will be great

Mack Ade said...

Takes two to tango Eddie

Plus no one wants to trade prime meat to Steve

No. This team will be built through FA and draft/IFA picks + lab work

Eddie from Corona said...

Well I don’t think anyone will do us a favor
We have to have the top offer either in prospects or cash

But that’s everyone to me, no one will pass the best offer

Mack Ade said...

Mets can trade prospect for prospect or expiring contracts that they can throw money at

Mack Ade said...

Some teams have too many good players at the same position

THAT is a great place to target

Eddie from Corona said...

Many in the site say they don’t want another SS but who is really a viable starting (all Star caliber) SS in our system

I don’t see that guy in our system

Eddie from Corona said...

There was a time we thought we should have traded one of our 5 aces
We did nothing
Wasted all that assets

Mack Ade said...

No outfielder picked yet

Mack Ade said...

Defense? Acuña

Mack Ade said...

You better hurry up if you want a quality middle infielder

The "best player availble" thingy was thrown out early with the wash

Mack Ade said...

Merek Houston

Another SS

Never saw a run like this before

Mack Ade said...

Positional drafting is stupid because you are.picking someone around 3-4 years away... or one or two more than you will lose your job

Mack Ade said...

But

No one is going to trade you a great starter

Period

Eddie from Corona said...

I want a ace
If tong or McLean is that (which I am not sure) then fine keep them and get me best available position player

But as much as it’s nice that sterns makes great lemonade out of lemons

I really want a big time ace who I know is our no doubt number one

And I really want stern to draft us our closers and bullpen
I am tired of paying 20 million for our closer while others closers coming from thier system (thing Cleveland for one)

Eddie from Corona said...

What I fear is this sets up well for Atlanta Phillies and Yankees

Better players falling
Hopefully a great player falls to us but we have eternity to go

Eddie from Corona said...

Yuck… most overrated player in our system since nimmo

Mack Ade said...

Tong is at best SP2

McLean at best SP3-4

You have an ace

Kodai Senga

Currently THE LOWEST STARTER ERA IN THE LEAGUE

Mack Ade said...

Eddie

There are no more GREAT projected players left after 18 picks

Plenty of projected VERY GOOD because of the huge run of shortstops

Mack Ade said...

The Orioles pick is interesting

Definitely a BPA puck

They had the most draft money and Ike Irish will definitely NOT go under slot

Eddie from Corona said...

I think thier top prospect is a C also
Can’t have too many

What do you think of Andy rushmam
Would you think a change of scenery of Alvarez for rushman makes sense?

Mack Ade said...

Bastille will replace him next season

He looks cooked

Eddie from Corona said...

Senga is made of glass
And doesn’t seem to be bull dog

I can’t trust him and would not extend a second contr

Mack Ade said...

My two favs 😍 still around after 20 picks

Eddie from Corona said...

Contract
In fact I would consider selling high

Mack Ade said...

Keep those shortstop coming

Eddie from Corona said...

These guys ?
My two wants at 1.38

LHSP Kruz Schoolcraft

CF Cam Cannarella

Mack Ade said...

Milwaukee got a great future bat

Mack Ade said...

Yes

Mack Ade said...

Yost is NOT a first round pick but he’s a shortstop

Weird draft

Mack Ade said...

Best player available my ass

Mack Ade said...

Lost one

Eddie from Corona said...

Yeah 6’8 lefty

Eddie from Corona said...

Philly got one I didn’t want him there

Mack Ade said...

He's a future TJS in the making

Mack Ade said...

How many fucking shortstop are left here?

😆

Mack Ade said...

Checked

There are only 3 more eligible baseball players on this planet that have ever played an inning on short... and two were deported by ICE last week

Eddie from Corona said...

lol
2 catchers by the orioles ?
I think Ike will not stick behind the plate

Mack Ade said...

Doesn't look like the Orioles have plans for Ike Irish behind the plate

Mack Ade said...

Still alive for Cam with two picks to go

Mack Ade said...

Riley Quick would have been fine

Mack Ade said...

Okay...

Eddie from Corona said...

Unless cam is a 20 hr 290 and a gold glove cf
I think I want a pitcher
I just feel several have fallen

Eddie from Corona said...

Hate this pick if he is a 2b
Never draft a 2b in the first round

Mack Ade said...

In 20 years the Mets have never bought me my favorite toy

Mack Ade said...

Eddie

Cam might be the best defensive centerfielder in college

Mack Ade said...

Eddie

1. The Mets did NOT have a first round pick

2. Mitch is not a future two way professional player. My deceased grandmother can hit him.

3. What he is, is a very good bat that FITS BEST at second

Eddie from Corona said...

Then he would have fit my criteria
I am not a fan of mortibito so o didn’t want another
I want big players

Eddie from Corona said...

Well that’s why I lean on what you say

Mack Ade said...

Eddie

My pain pills are kicking in and I have to get up around 4am to work ln tomorrow's posts.

Had fun with you tonight.

Which at least someone else would have joined us

Eddie from Corona said...

Thanks
Mack

aptoklas said...

We choose Mitch Volt, a second baseman. I was hoping for an outfielder. Anyone know anything about him?

aptoklas said...

Actually is name is Mitch Voit.

Mack Ade said...

Tomorrow at 10am

Great college starter

Injury in college turned him into exclusive bat in 2025

Big power potential

Can plat third and first.but fits in second

Very immature on the field

Mack Ade said...

Night
