2015 Mets All-Prospect Team

The Mets farm system is one of the best in baseball (No. 4 according to Law) and is finally starting to produce some talented position players to go with all that young pitching that has rival teams green with envy.

The last two weeks have been filled with some glowing prospect chatter stemming from Baseball Prospectus’ top prospect rankings, to MLB.com releasing their top players at each position, and most recently Keith Law rolling out his own top prospects.

In keeping with that trend and using some of the knowledge we’ve gleaned from all these prospect experts and scouts, I wondered what a Mets All-Prospect Team would look like. To make this exercise even more interesting, I decided to include what our depth looks like at each position. I used three starting pitchers and one reliever for my team. So without further ado, here’s what I’ve come up with.

The first string of Mets prospects is very good and could go up against some of the best farm systems like the Chicago Cubs and Minnesota Twins. Other than starting pitching the deepest position is probably SS which is ironic considering most believe we still need one at the Major League level. Catching is pretty weak after Plawecki, but either him or TDA will be the Mets starter for a long time making that moot.

Third base looks a little weak too but if healthy I think Wright has another 4-5 productive seasons left in him. Bullpen depth doesn’t jump out at you either but not all the SP arms can stay there ala Montero last year. Maybe the most impressive part of this chart is just how many electric arms the Mets have and I still didn’t have room for guys like John Gant, Corey Oswalt, Rainy Lara, Robert Gsellman, Domingo Tapia, Paul Sewald, etc.

For fun here is the lineup I would put out from my All-Prospect Team:
