Hey, if you want to hear Steve Cohen’s views on a non-Mets subject, the economy, here’s the link:

Thank you for the links Tom, I’ll check them out:

1. Mark Vientos
2. Christian Scott
3. Nate Lavender
4. Mike Vasil
5. Drew Gilbert
6. Luis Angel Acuna

Gus,I left Vientos out of the prospects list…he may still be in prospect status de facto, but he is technically far past the at bats to rookie-qualify. You might be right on Vasil, but I sense the next prospect pitcher besides Scott might be a reliever, and maybe…Suarez? No earlier than mid year for Joander.

I know the weather was crap, but when Vasil started, it wasn’t pretty.

Butto.
Scott.
Lavender
Gilbert.
Acuña.

Tom Brennan said...

Bill…good list. Butto was unimpressive in his first start, but polar bears were shivering in the stands.

Vientos
Butto
Lavender
Gilbert
Scott.

Denis Savage said...

Fujinami (or he is first one designated to clear a 40-man spot)
Butto
Ingram
Scott
Acuna
Alex Ramirez

Added a 6th since Fuji could go either way.

Tom Brennan said...

Denis, I left out Fujinama as he already has 64 MLB outings to his credit. I think Ramírez is a 2025 possible, not sooner after his down 2023 season. Thanks for the input.

Denis Savage said...

Added Ramirez since he is on the 40-man. Could see a cup when rosters expand. Expecting a big bounce back season from him.

Tom Brennan said...

Denis thought Ramirez looked good this spring, but surprised he looked so slender.
