I’m still trying to decide if I like the Mets’ system. They have a lot of famous prospects, some of whom are good and some of whom are overrated. They don’t have that “guy.” A player that could emerge as a significant impact player.
Jett Williams has the best shot but spent most of 2024 on the IL. Brandon Sprout might be able to pitch at the top of the rotation, but his first handful of starts at Triple-A have not gone well. I’ve never been a big fan of Drew Gilbert, and his poor season did not give me any reason to change my mind. Granted, he did spend a lot of time on the IL. Ronny Maurcio didn’t play in 2024, and while the tools are exciting, there’s something about the approach that I fear will not work. That’s just a flavor of the uncertainty in the system.
Maybe none of this matters, as their system is good enough to use as assets to make trades. That might be who the Mets are – a collection of players other organizations have developed.
