 • Let’s face it. If you are a Mets fan, you are not going to get a chance to draft either Mike Zunino or Stryker Trahan for your future catcher. 2012 is considered a pretty decent year for college catchers and one of these following guys will probably be picked by the Mets in at least one of their top four picks: 


    o Dane Phillips - Oklahoma City - has hit 10-HRs, though the competition hasn’t been the best. .410/.504/.850 


    o Tom Murphy - Buffalo – hit two more home runs this weekend… 6-HRs, 24-RBIs, .373/.474/.814. Being consistently pitched around also.


    o Kevin Plawecki – Purdue - .375/.468/.688, 3-HR, 19-RBI, plus a fielding percentage of 1.000. 


    o Peter O'Brien – Miami – leading team in batting against premier competition: .389/.483/.792, 7-HR, 25.RBI. 


    o Ronnie Freeman - Kennesaw State - .342/.422/.468, 2-HR, 22-RBI 


    o Josh Elander – TCU - .361/.451/.459, 1-HR, 9-RBI
