Prospects are Cool, Parada is Coolest

Mets sign their top pick.

Good news.

But I read that their third round pick - RHP Brandon Sproat is the only one of their top 7 picks who hasn't signed.

That's sad, because everybody deserves to have a little Brandon Sproat in their life.

Keith Law just released his Top 60 prospects (Alvarez and Baty are on it) list and so was THIS:

47.Kevin Parada, C, New York Mets Previous ranking: 2022 No. 11 draft pick Parada was, in my opinion, the best overall player in Division I this spring, a catcher who hit .361/.453/.709 while playing for Georgia Tech and facing ACC pitching. But he ended up sliding all the way to the Mets at the 11th pick. He's a bat-first guy, with an excellent eye and a history of hard contact, while his defense behind the plate is fringy at best, from his receiving to his throwing. I don't think his glove will matter if he hits like he's capable of hitting. He's not going to have to move to another position and he should hit for average with solid OBPs and 20-plus homers.

Well, he may have to move to another position if he and Alvarez both remain in the Mets organization.
