I hear you on Frazier. He has a righty version of Bryce Harpers swing. Toe tap then explosive hip action. Sweet swing.

Yes there was. Yesterday I accidentally permanently deleted this on Craig. I asked Joe if he could step in and somehow bring it back and I apologized to Craig for it.

Wasn’t there an article like this the other day that vanished into thin air?

Like I said the other day, the Mets should set their sights on Jeremy Martinez. It’s to no surprise to me that he’s “the most polished high school player in the draft”. It wouldn’t surprise me though if his stock rises to “top 5″ potential between now and next June. The kid would be up in the show in 2.5 years, mark my words. He’s the complete package with a great work ethic. The Mets would be fools to pass him up with the lack of catching depth they have.

I dont see the Mets using a top 10 pick on a catcher out of highschool. Although Martinez is advanced for a highschool catcher they take longer to develop. Besides the mets drafted a catcher Plawecki last year with a 1st rd supplement pick who they believe in, that same draft they also picked Tomas Nido a young highschool catcher with power and upside.

They also have 2 highly touted catchers via international signings, 1 of the 2 Abreu should be stateside next year.

I think they go best available Bat Austin Meadows, Clint Frazier,Austin Wilson,Kris Bryant, Colin Moran, Justin Williams, Phillip Ervin and Aaron Judge still early so things will change

I’m sure this was a typo but Austin Wilson, OF, Stanford is “Right handed”

Fonz,

Clint Frazier looks like a stud…..A dare I say it….. Trout-esque type of player. Kid has plus running speed, tremendous bat speed, power to all fields, and a plus defender(CF) with a gun to boot…

Plus he is a ginger a la Rusty Staub…

Its early but I’ll go on record saying Frazier is my pick for the Mets…I also really like Austin Wilson, Colin Moran and Justin Williams….but wouldnt be surprised if they take Stanek(if he falls) the way DePo has been raiding Arkansas prospects

while I am a proponent of starting pitching and I do believe that if you get four good starteres you are in the mix, I would like to see the mets get a hitting machine. If none is available, fine, for the arm.

Mets are in dire need of true five tool players and is the route I think they ought to pursue with their first few picks – five-tool outfielders is a must, I say college types close to major league ready.

I’m hearing the Mets like San Diego 3rd baseman Kris Bryant although he’s kind of tall for a 3Bman at 6’5″ and Georgia HS kid OF Clint Frazier.

Didn’t we draft 2 Catchers in this draft?? More Catchers? shouldn’t we focus in OF more? we could’ve had hawkins this year however, we all know what happened…

Austin Meadows is the one to get. We desperately need help in the outfield and Meadows is a 5 tool beast! That said, I think he goes first but maybe I’m wrong and he’ll slip a little like Courtney Hawkins did this year.

You never know. He was supposed to go number one this year. maybe the Mets catch a break.

No way mark Appel falls to the mets at 7. If he even has a decent year at Stanford he’ll go number one. I do like the idea of Jeremy Martinez falling to the mets. A catcher is the most important position on the field and we cannot pass him up if he falls to us.
