Last pick: Kameron Brunty is a 2008 OF/MIF with a 6’1”, 175 lb. frame from Gulf Breeze, FL who attends Gulf Breeze HS. Lean athletic build, room to fill out, quick hands, good bat speed, stays inside the ball well, keeps weight back well, raw power potential, consistent solid contact, goes the oopposite field well, runs very well, nice range in the outfield, accurate throws, good arm strength, solid student. He might be a draft and follow because he committed to a junior college. But, he is signable. I suspect he will go to juco and see if he can up his stock.

Starting with #224, the Mets (so far) have picked another 36 players (through 40 rounds). Of those 36, 24 are pitchers and 12 are position players.

i think you’re off on the “i like ike” idea, although i appreciate your sense of presidential campaign history. do you think most mets fans have any idea who, what, or when that refers to? i’ll go with no.

and as for the golfer/opera singer line, how about some spontanaeity next time. ted was obviously trying to keep a smile in, and then the delivery disappointed anyway. come on just stick to the baseball. you’re not jerry seinfeld

boy am i acerbic.

i do not make it sound like it’s peter gammons and bill james. i did not say “these guys are professionals,” i did not say “they’ve been around the league for 20 years,” i did not state that they’re the go-to guys for anything baseball, did i?
it sorry-ass haters like you who refuse to recognize these guy’s accomplishments in such a short period of time. you should stop being a jealous prick and admit to the fact that you ENJOY reading this site, and that’s why you come here. If you don’t find them insightful then why the hell are you reading their material? Your a damn fool.

We didn’t take a golfer or an opera singer?!?!? FIRE THE SCOUTING STAFF!!!!!!!

(And yes, that is sarcasm…btw, for those wondering, almost all of our remaining picks today were pitchers. So much for not taking any this draft…)

You make it sound like it’s Peter Gammons and Bill James at the Algonquin Round Table…it’s Matt and Ted…if you consider that interesting insight, you should try to get the nurse’s attention so she can wipe the drool off your chin.

That guy came in knowing how to play every infield position. he didn’t have to relearn anything…

I understand a move when you’re bringing in a MVP – you accommodate. You don’t displace your allstar for an incoming rookie.

Why watch it then? The idea is that these are not just “some 2 guys” – these 2 guys sift through more mets-related info in a day than any of us does in a month. plus they have access to some random people who are in the know with the team. if you don’t find that insight interesting, you should smoke another blunt and continue discussing food preferences with your cat….
