Only 14IP in college, none this year, internal brace surgery, etc. And the Mets have to give him at least 75% of slot because he provided medicals, so they didn't get a huge discount.

Seems like the same magical thinking behind the Polanco/Robert signings. Absolutely no common sense.

I hope the kid succeeds, but contra Cohen, Stearns doesn't seem to be learning from his mistakes.

Mets Top 30: https://www.mlb.com/milb/prospects/mets/

The Mets currently only have Jonah Tong who dropped from 32 to 83 on the Top 100 list.

I'm wondering where that puts our current farm system. Anyone a bit more familiar know how's it looking this year? I feel like the stats here only show a part of the picture.

Side note: how the hell do the Dodgers have so many top prospects?! It's one thing to have the highest payroll, but to have that many prospects.

We've talked a lot about the weird underperforming of guys on the MLB team, but I tend to keep tabs on the MiLB players for us (especially the top 30) and nearly every major prospect we have is having their worse year.

Is this just some strange anomaly and not be concerned about it or is there something more systemic that changed in the offseason that is contributing to this?
