I am considering Conforto advanced due to his years of the highest level of college baseball. I don't really believe there is harm at giving him a crack.

Top Prospects seem to go from AA straight to the majors of late. See Houston and Minnesota. I like it. These prospects don't have to sit in AAA sitting with with largely MLB castoffs. Put Conforto in LF and see if he continues to hit. Its' not like we are married to the promotion.
Watching the Mets is what we do. We cheer, we boo, we rant, we rave. There were high expectations by many this year and the suckitude has basically brought out rant, anger or indifference in most.

Wally has made it perfectly clear what he wants from his minor league players. Yes it be can salty but it is simple and to the point. Baseball players are not rocket scientists.
