As we head towards the 2020 MLB Draft, we are going to detail
the last ten years of drafts.
We will
see the hits and the misses. Before
everyone starts complaining that the Mets missed on this guy or that guy,
please note, a lot of teams miss on multiple players each year. Sometimes the best prospects just don’t make
it while an under the radar pick does. That’s
what makes baseball so much fun to watch.
In my opinion, 2010 was a packed draft with lots of Major
League players and stars starting with Bryce Harper at #1.
Other prominent picks are as follows:
Manny Machado at #3, Yasmani Grandal at # 12; Chris Sale at #13; Christian Yelich at #23;

Mack's Mets writer Tom Brennan added that this was one of the great drafts in this team's history. Jake is arguably baseball's best starter, and Matt Harvey was elite as well, until he broke down.

The Mets were able to get two great starting pitchers from
this draft, Jacob deGrom and Matt Harvey. They lost their second round pick when they
signed Jason Bay which would have helped in a good draft crop, but two pitchers
like Matt and Jacob makes for a very good draft in my opinion.

Jake deGrom is arguably baseball's best starter, and Matt Harvey was elite as well, until he broke down. Most of the top 10 selections after Harvey did not do much in the majors, but were still solid picks.

Looking at this reminds me how hard it really is to draft and develop major league ballplayers.
If I knew who Bobby Evelina was, I would have rooted for him. 50th round.
Eveld. My tablet got wise with me again.
2 good players make for a good draft
2 great ones... a great one
3? Wow
Tom, Bobby Eveld did not sign. Guess he didn't like his chances being drafted in the 50th round. He later played for Toronto and Texas.
