Pena is a sure bet defensively but the jury is way out on his hitting.

I’m a little leery of guys without a position, especially if they’re not power bats. I think of Gregg Jefferies . . .

If power-hitting 1B are a dime a dozen then why don’t we have one?

Jason Castro was pretty good on Idol.

Mets need a masher regardless of position. And do not turn him into a catcher! We need his bat in the line up everyday! It’s pretty sad that our single season homerun leader is 41!!! Sure we need pitching. Who doesn’t? But drafting pitchers is such a crapshoot. We haven’t had a great pitcher come up through the system since what.. Gooden? And the next best we let go to Tampa!

our recent draft strategy seems to be two-pronged: lock in on certain guys, or go conservative with low-ceiling, tall pitchers who project to ML quickly. sometimes we do both on the same player. :(

that would be cool with me, if only because the guy that trained CF during his HS career has also trained my son, who is entering his junior year. I don’t think my son will be a 1st round pick anytime (or even drafted) but would be cool for the pitching coach.

This is random but I was looking through our past drafts and apparently we drafted Niese and Parnell in 2005 as well. I guess we must have really wanted them.

If they let Cutter Dykstra go to the Phillies I’m gonna be pissed off.
