Who wants to be a Met? (2017 draft)

[Edgy MD]

Moving southeast from Stanford, they use their sixth-round pick on 5'11" RHP Marcel Renteria. No relation to Edgar, but he is supposedly tied by blood to Gil Heredia. Born to be an Expo.

[seawolf17]

Been keeping half an eye on this today, and it looks like the sex offender from Oregon State, Luke Heimlich, hasn't been picked yet and we're in the middle of the ninth round already. Gonna be interesting to see if someone just can't pass up the so-called "talent" this far down the draft and just deal with the headaches.

[Frayed Knot]

7th - Conor O'Neill, RHP, Cal Northridge

8th - Trey Cobb, RHP, Oklahoma State

9th - Cannon Chadwick, RHP, U Arkansas Fayetteville

10th - Stephen Villines, RHP, U Kansas


All these guys, the ones from Round 6 thru 10, are college Seniors which means low signing bonuses although there doesn't appear to be any 'over-draft' types for whom they'll need this saved
cash for. And once you get beyond Round 10 the picks are no longer subject to the combined bonus cap.

[crossout]i assume someone takes the flyer and waits to see before even offering him a contract - the player isn't always guilty - look at how La'el Collins got completely fucked over because of rumors he involved in a murder a few days before the draft - he was never charged and as far as some quick googling says it looks like everyone seems to think he was never even really a "suspect" just a person the police wanted to talk to as he'd dated the dead person.[/crossout]

OE - googled it and he pled guilty (i had not seen the full story pre-draft), i'm guessing nobody takes him and he quietly signs with someone when the focus isnt on the draft

I was hoping they'd go for Neil O'Connor.

[Frayed Knot]

22nd Round pick of Toronto = Gunner (Son of Shane) Halter

37th round pick of Anaheim = Peyton (son of Tom, not Mike) Glavine, and, yes, he's a LHP

[Frayed Knot]

Other legacy picks:

Buddy Kennedy - [u:1u07h25h]grandson[/u:1u07h25h] of Don Money - 5th round, DBacks

Joe Dunand - nephew of Alex Rodriguez - 2nd round, Marlins

Cole Bellinger - brother of Cody, son of Clay - 15th round, Padres

Darren Baker - son of Dusty (remember folks?) - 27th round, Nationals

Jacob Gonzalez - son of Luis - 2nd round, SF Giants

Dalton Guthrie - son of Mark - 6th round Phillies

Kacy Clemens, 8th round, Blue Jays


also Colby Bortles, brother of Jacksonville QB Blake -- 22nd round, Tigers

Zach Jarrett, son of race car driver Dale, 28th round Orioles

Seriously, Mets? You couldn't throw your local school a fucking bone, late in the draft? Not even for a guy who was the conference player of the year? Bleh.

There should be one round called "The Nepotism Round" where each team drafts someone with some connection, however tangential, to a past or present player, coach, manager or staffer.
And then there should be "The Local Round" where each team drafts a local player, if only for the inevitable article in the Pennysaver.

The NHL used to have "territorial protection" of players within a radius(50 miles) who only they could draft. Gee, I wonder why Montreal and Toronto had so many good hockey players?

Later

[Edgy MD]

The Mets used round 38 as the nepotism round, selecting Bayside High thirdbaseman Daniel Alfonzo, son of Edgardo and (I think) the fifth guy (if he signs) from the Fonzarelli family to join the organization.

He's got his dad's quick hands:

The Mets have supposedly had their eye on him for a long time:

Quickie insta-analysis from John Sickels

New York Mets

1-20) David Peterson, LHP, University of Oregon
2-59) Mark Vientos, 3B, Plantation, Florida
3-97) Quinn Brodey, OF, Stanford University
4-127) Tony Dibrell, RHP, Kennesaw State University
5-157) Matt Winaker, OF Stanford University
6-187) Marcel Renteria, RHP, New Mexico State University

ANALYSIS: Peterson destroyed college competition this year thanks to mechanical refinements boosting command of his fastball/slider/curve/change combination. He could reach the majors quickly as a number three or four starter. Vientos is one of the youngest players in the draft and has a highly promising bat but questions about his defense; he’ll need time but the upside is quite high. College picks were the following theme, with the Stanford pair offering power (Brodey) and a good eye with some athleticism (Winaker). Dibrell needs more polish than some of the other college arms but can hit 95 while Renteria can hit 96.
SLEEPERS: Connor O’Neil (7th round, Cal State Northridge) and Trey Cobb (8th round, Oklahoma State) offer versatility while Matt Duce (14th round, Dallas Baptist) is a catcher with a strong glove and a chance to hit.
IMPRESSIONS: Vientos is the big upside play while Peterson consistently exceeds expectations. Both Stanford bats bear close watching.

[Frayed Knot]

Blue Jays, 39th round pick from IMG Academy, Chance King, son of [u:1qjw62ol]Larry[/u:1qjw62ol] ... yes that one.
Which one of Larry's wives Chance is the son of I'm not sure even Larry knows.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

9th rounder Cannon Chadwick might be fun to watch. Closer type
[tweet]https://twitter.com/CannonChadwick/status/861647905177960452[/tweet]

Here's 10th rounder Stephen Villanes, looking good with his corn-fed girlfriend. He was a closer at Kansas, a sidearmer said to be difficult on RHB. I feel like this is the type that could come quickly like Joe Smith.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I saw somewhere that Vientos had agreed to a deal

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Indeed ya did :$1.5M (almost 50 percent above slot value).

[Frayed Knot]

How did all those guys sign on the same day with Sandy only being able to concentrate on one thing at a time?

Indeed ya did :$1.5M (almost 50 percent above slot value).

So that's where the money went that they saved from all those college senior picks afterward.

[bmfc1]

Have we heard the status of the #1 pick? Some #1's have been signed. Maybe it doesn't matter if Sandy will have him rest awhile after the college season.

[Edgy MD]

I like that they've drafted a Gavin (Round 26) and a MacCleod (Round 33).

[Edgy MD]

It seems that Daniel Alfonzo isn't going to sign, and that's OK, I guess. I mean, a 38th round draft choice isn't the most valuable of commodities. But I'm struck by the same question that irked me when the Mets made J.J. Franco a late-round draft choice in 2014, and earlier when they made Glen Johnson a late-round draft choice in 2007. If the Mets are going to do team employees the grace of drafting their kids, you'd think the parents would give the team a heads-up that their kids prefer to go to school.

On the other hand, maybe that's the favor: By selecting the players in the draft, the team makes them better recruitment bait and improves their college prospects.

This Mark Vientos guy is a piece of work.

MMO: I thought I read somewhere that you were a Mets fan growing up, is that true? Mark: Yeah, my dad was born in the Dominican Republic and he moved to New York and he was a Mets fan. I just grew up a Mets fan with him. MMO: Who were some of your favorite players growing up? Mark: I’d say my favorite players growing up were Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter. David Wright is also another one that I admire and is a great role model.

TRADE HIM NOW

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Perhaps he merely admired their interplay, the same way '80s audiences admired Dynasty or Falcon Crest.

[Edgy MD]

I like the glaring subtext, suggesting that Jetes and A-Rod were crap role models.

Which they were.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Peterson signs for just under $3 million, which was "slot" value.

[Edgy MD]

Now just ink the rest of The Bangles and we're going somewhere.

[Edgy MD]

Not bad so far as the Mets have 32 of their 40 picks in the fold, including all of the top ten.

Strange to see some of the mid-round guys get small bonuses while the late-round guys see six figures. Mac Lozer, though — there's a guy really living up to his name. Fire your agent, Mac!

Classic quote from 40th rounder Ronnie Taylor, Jr.

“I pretty much rely on my fastball. It gets up to around 94 mph, and my slider can hit up to 85 mph,” Taylor said. “I just throw it as hard as I can and hope they don’t hit it.”

That's the sort of money quote you want to read from a 40th rounder. It's also gives us a context for a guy who has already had Tommy John surgery in high school.
