Links: Mock Draft, Slotting, No Fun, Mediocrity
Over at Hot Foot, Andrew Smith will represent the Mets in an upcoming Mock Draft with other bloggers.
Speaking of the upcoming draft, Michael Salfino of SNY.tv takes a look at draft slotting and the Mets tough decision on whether or not to violate the league’s wishes on the subject.
…after trading away many of their top prospects over the last few seasons the Mets need to desperately invigorate their minor league system with top talent…to do that the Mets must stop concerning themselves with the league’s slotting system and start doing what’s best for the franchise….
…by the way, the Mets have the 18th, 22nd and 33rd picks in the first round of the upcoming first-year player draft on June 5…
At Amazin’ Avenue, Eric Simon says the Mets are fortunate the rest of their division is as mediocre as they are, writing…
“I want to say that the Mets need to turn things around soon if they want any chance of salvaging this season, but I don’t even know if that’s accurate. The rest of the division is iffy enough that the Mets could slog along for another couple of months, winning approximately as often as they lose, and still remain a stone’s throw from first place.”
Matthew Artis of Always Amazin‘ thinks this be as ‘good as it gets’ for the Mets this season.
