the mets have the 9th overall pick, but after that dont pick until #93 or something.. so they have to make that fist pick count, i think in the later rounds they might want to take a risk on these high school kids who have big money demands or strong college commitments and try to sign one of them..
here is a preview of the top 5 players

Carlos Gomez

much talked about prospect carlos gomez is hitting .259 7hits 1hr 4rbi 8sb

Alay Soler Almost a met

cuban pitcher alay solar, has been given his citizenship in the dominican republic, so that means he should be on his way to the u.s. sometime soon, i sure hope that the mets don't also find that his age has gone from the listed age of 25-26 to 28-29, if that does happen i think that the mets should be able to void the contract under the terms of being mislead about his age. if the mets tried to sign him when he was too young mlb would of stepped in and voided the contract. you would not give a 29 yr old pitcher the same amount of money you would a 25 yr old pitcher. with that being said let's hope he can pitch as well as advertised, you can never have too much pitching.

Minor Lg Update

thru 2innings the Hmets are up 2-0, carlos gomez steals his 8thbase on the yr. gabby hernandez has 3k

thru 5inngs the Bmets are up 2-0, bannister has 7 k's

THE NEW METS AND SAME OLD FLOYD

I thought we were the new New yorkmets, why do we have the same old cliff floyd, the talented but almost always injured cliff floyd is hurt again, he has missed the last 4 games(mets 4-0) is out with a rib cage strain, maybe he'll return on monday. trying to find cliff another team to play for has been difficult , but worth another try.

Happy Recap, Mets Win

mets come back and beat the marlins and win in the 9th inning, victor diaz gets a double, and castro drives him in with a single to rf. i watched the game on mlb t.v. and got the marlins fox feed, the announcers for the marlins are horrible and seem to know little about baseball.

MINOR LG UPDATE#2

St Lucie wins 7-3, evan maclane pitched well but didn't get the win, brian harper went 2-5 with a hr and 2rbi, for harper it was his 6 hr and 12 rbi, turay and whealy also homerd for st lucie. on the down side bowmen, hill, and milledge combined to go 1-12 with 2runs scored, i sure hope the 3 of them can get it going and then this team will be something to deal with.

Aaron Heilman

Aaron heilman pitched a wonderful game tonight, a complete game 1 hitter with 7k 3bb, the mets bullpen can use the night off, hopefully this is something heilman can build on and continue to solidify himself as a major lg starting pitcher, it's hard to believe a player drafted twice in the first round could struggle like he has .

BEN SHEETS

sheets signs a 4yr extension with the brew crew, so i guess teams can cross him off there list.
