MLB Draft mock board released

[Brock Beauchamp]

Our draft expert, Jamie Cameron, puts this together every year. It's an aggregate of multiple draft boards in an attempt to average out what people think of a player. Jamie also does these killer write-ups on players, adding several more every week.

This is the first iteration, and I'll drop notes as significant updates are made:

The Mets like shortstops, catchers and lefty hitting outfielders - and college relief pitchers who they think can turn into a starter.

Thanks

I'm not sure what you are basing that on.

Doesn't everybody like shortstops, catchers, and lefty hitting outfielders?

[MFS62]

I feel like that has been to the exclusion of righty hitting outfielders. They haven’t had one of those for a while.

The Mets haven't had a righty-hitting rightfielder?

[MFS62]

I said outfielder, not right fielder.

Drafted, signed, developed through the organization and made it to the majors, and had a decent career with the Mets? In the last ten years? Name them.

You are moving the goalposts by, like, a thousand miles.

Please don't presume to give me orders. I'm not your subordinate.

If you'd like something from me, please ask, nicely.

But seeing as you have already moved the goalposts beyond the seas, the question has become irrelevant.

We've had our share of hotshot RH OF prospects fizzle out, though. Mets RH OFs who fit the first four parts of your qualification:

Travis Taijeron (52 AB in 2017)
Juan Lagares (the best of this lot)
Nick Evans (386 AB from 2008-11)
Carlos Gomez (all his good years were elsewhere)
Lastings Milledge (meh)
Prentice Redman (23 AB in 2003)
Alex Escobar (2001)
Benny Agbayani (similar to Lagares)
Jay Payton (similar to Benny and Lagares)
Alex Ochoa (1995-97)
Butch Huskey (miscast as an OF)

I kind of gave up after that.

This thread is about prospects, so ..

is what that means to me.

We had this discussion years ago on the old board and it stopped when I quoted a writer from an article you had posted, that agreed with me. The situation hasn't changed.

Lagares was the last one I thought of. None of those were recent which is kinda' my point.

I mean, nobody thinks there's some sort of weird organizational bias against righthanded outfielders that has lasted through decades of different management teams. But it's an observation.

[Brock Beauchamp]

There's actually a shortage of right-handed corner outfielders across baseball. It's a weird thing.
