Baseball Prospectus released their 2012 Prospects List (No Subscription)! Let’s see where the Mets ranked overall on their list:
25. Matt Harvey
30. Zach Wheeler
89. Jeurys Familia
This short list isn’t too surprising for a few reasons:
1. There’s always a hype factor with prospects, and these are the three players with the most hype in the Mets system
2. On top 100 lists, even though their placements sometimes shuffle up and down, these are the three players always included
3. While the Mets farm system is on the rise, many of the pitchers are still in that “C” range, where they need one more season in order to be labeled as a top caliber prospects.
I’m really curious to see how the farm system appears on these lists next season, as I feel, because I’m a crazy optimist, that the Mets will have a lot of players break upwards this season.
