I will stick with ...Bill, I understand your point. I will stick with "Draft power arms, power bats". The rest (and there are so many over the years that for the Mets fall into the rest) rarely are more than an Eric Campbell or Danny Muno non-contributing contributor. At least in the first 10 rounds - and Pujols, based on my approach, would have been a Met in those first 10 rounds.<br /><br />Use that same philosophy and we never draft Gavin Cecchini.<br /><br />I'd really like my only draft busts in higher rounds be due to injury, like a Reese Havens. <br /><br />I still remember diminutive Branden Kaupe, who was drafted in round 4 in 2012 ago and recorded 4 doubles and no homers in 597 plate appearances. Let that one register. I am in my 60s and wonder if I could do 3 doubles in 600 PAs. What a bust pick that was. He certainly did not have power.<br /><br />In 2014 in the 5th round, the Phils took Rhys Hoskins, a very solid major leaguer with considerable power. The Mets drafted low power Milton Ramos in round 2, middling velocity Josh Prevost (183 minor league Ks in 259 IP) in round 4, and low production Tyler Moore (4 homers in 729 ABs, .204) in round 5. All had questionable skill sets based on today's major leaguers' profiles. We drafted LJ Mazzilli in the 4th round for some inane reason, great name but a ceiling coming in below Cecchini and Muno.<br /><br />I am again not trying to trash any of these players, but they would not have passed my stress test. None of them get picked in my first 10 rounds except Cecchini, and him, I would only have drafted round 3 or later. <br /><br />Get your middle infielders an occasional OF and pitcher from international and roll from there.<br /><br />Lastly, I would say that I would not eschew power speed like a Vince Coleman - but without a real discernible on base % skill, that player normally does not get far in this day and age.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-56067243676457274072020-05-25T20:04:44.171-04:002020-05-25T20:04:44.171-04:00To me, unless a team has had a GM for 15+ years, d...To me, unless a team has had a GM for 15+ years, drawing a conclusion based on a "pattern" is meaningless.<br /><br />An owner has no business going anywhere near the draft selection process, even if his name is Steinbrenner. A GM is hired for a reason, and player procurement is his job. <br /><br />Of course, he doesn't have the time (or ability) to go out and scout talent. Joe McIlvane loved doing that, to the detriment of his other responsibilities, but it's really up to the scouts to do that, though the GM can point them in certain directions.<br /><br />I've lost count of the total number of GMs that the Mets have had, but I can't imagine that they all shared the same philosophy. <br /><br />Adding up all the Mets' top picks for the last year and finding patterns is a futile exercise. Each GM looked for different qualities, and they each developed different types of teams. <br /><br />We like some, hated others, and were lukewarm on most, but they were the products of different men. bill metsiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927989716664234035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-69984987875118463852020-05-25T20:00:25.106-04:002020-05-25T20:00:25.106-04:00Pennies wise, pounds foolish, John.Pennies wise, pounds foolish, John.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-22906737924963067332020-05-25T19:21:38.409-04:002020-05-25T19:21:38.409-04:00Per Tracy Ringoslby, Baseball America: "The M...Per Tracy Ringoslby, Baseball America: "The Mets indicated an interest in drafting him in the ninth round, but his agent scared them off...He received a $30,000 bonus and $30,000 for college, which was the stumbling block initially."<br /><br />https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/ringolsby-last-laugh-belongs-to-albert-pujols/<br />John From Albanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757707663955650787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-83863113923997496342020-05-25T13:54:55.063-04:002020-05-25T13:54:55.063-04:00Anon:
