Minors: BA predicts Mets take C and Pitcher
At Baseball America, Jim Callis predicts that the Mets will select Stanford C Jason Castro in the the first round of this year’s MLB Amateur Player Draft, which will begin on June 5.
…i assume this is not the same Jason Castro who was on American Idol…i hope…
According to Callis, “New York has the financial wherewithal to spend as much as any team does on the draft, but it apparently will stick to slotting once again in 2008.”
…last winter, i picked up a lot of buzz suggesting otherwise…but, of late, Baseball America and Keith Law have both been saying the Mets will be ‘good citizens,’ which is disappointing to hear…i think it’s time to be a bit selfish…
With their second first-round pick, courtesy of Tom Glavine and the Braves, Callis predicts the Mets will draft Georgia RHP Ethan Martin.
…by the way, if you click on the player’s name above it will take you to their MiLB.com Draft Report page, which includes video and all sorts of details about each player…good stuff…
