Read: Talk with Mets Minor League Director
At his Mets Minor League Report, Toby Hyde talks with Adam Wogan, the Mets Director of Minor League Operations, who not only discusses specific players, but also explains much of the team’s philosophy on how they develop and scout players.
Wogan, on being aggressive in how the team promotes its prospects through the minor-league system…
“We like to challenge guys, might be the term we like to use a little more than “push.” We feel if guys are ready, we like to see what they can do ahead and do at a level. It’s good for our guys to face adversity and be in a spot where they have to step up to show us what they can do in a tough situation. All that really matters is the big league level. All that matters is what guys are going to be able to do when they get there, and helping out the Mets organization. We feel like challenging players is the best route to go.”
On a similar subject, at Minor League Ball, John Sickels takes issues with how the Mets handle their prospects, such as Carlos Gomez, who, according to Sickels, “had no business in the majors last year.”
