Over slot high schoolers who made us think the Mets minor league system would be transformed if this type of draft strategy would continue. Then 2012 happened and the Wilpon's money issues once again screwed over the franchise. 2012 was all about who they could get for just over or just under slot. Nobody knows this cold hard fact more then poor Teddy, who wanted to sign so bad he blew off a Arkansas commitment and went to junior college just to be draft eligible in 2013.<br /><br />If that kid dominates and goes even earlier in the draft, I'm going to be pissed.<br /><br />Another guy I wanted them to sign was Mason Robbins. Any word Mack on how he's doing? I don't know if he has played any college ball yet but I'm sure he has.<br /><br />Yeah Nido, Flexen, and Cecchini do have have great upside, but I feel as if this draft will be a lucky if just 2 players end up in the majors at some point. I know it's too early, but the Teddy S fiasco pisses me off. <br /><br />I remember after they didn't sign him, DePo said that it was okay because that draft allotment for that pick would roll over just like the pick itself would into the 2013 draft. He said the 2013 draft had a better class of players as well. Now we know only about 150,000 of the 600,000 of the slot money rolls over and I keep hearing this draft class might be worse then 2012. I wouldn't mind how they operate if they just didn't lie about why they do the things they do.<br /><br />They think we are all so stupid and would believe every line of crap they feed us. As if we can just read the writing on the wall. You don't let a pitcher like Teddy walk over 60 grand unless you just don't have anymore cash. The only reason they never talked to his family over the last two weeks of the signing period was for fear he'd drop his price. They were afraid he'd take the under slot money and didn't have the money to do even that!!! But keep lying about it Mets, why be honest to the fans, they only keep the franchise from going bankrupt.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03520446193510393380noreply@blogger.com
