Would they have picked this likely fine future player at 4 or 5? Doubt it. <br /><br />Let's say he is up to the Mets 4 years from now. How does that help Jake in the near future? I will get India is in the majors by late next year. THAT could have helped Jake.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-76727711158074084292018-06-05T06:29:42.878-04:002018-06-05T06:29:42.878-04:00Totally agree.

See how the entire draft class went for your team and then complain. <br /><br />DeGrom was a 8th or 9th round pick. He alone makes that class a steal for the Mets. A number one pitcher? I’ll take it.<br /><br />The Mets have had success with their drafts believe it or not.

Trying to reason a pick being a "failure" because hindsight makes you believe it was possible he could have been available one round later seems a bit pointless given how successful he has been this year.
