Prospect Rankings: I feel like Sproat is a little high unless you were going to have Jonah Tong listed nearby. To me they are both very close in terms of value. I agree that Gilbert and Acuna don't belong on the Top 100 list right now. Disappointed not to see Jesus Baez get on this list after making some others.

Like the Stanek signing and think our bullpen is currently pretty good. With a 6 man rotation and a couple platoon players I am concerned about keeping everyone we need on the 26 man roster. If everyone (possible) is healthy you wind up with some Sophie's choice decisions on players.

1. Francisco Alvarez, C1 (Lock)

2. Luis Torens, C2 (Lock)

3. Jessie Winker, 1B (Lock)

4. Jeff McNeil, 2B (Lock)

5. Francisco Lindor, SS (Lock)

6. Juan Soto, LF (Lock)

7. Jose Siri, CF (Lock)

8. Brandon Nimmo, RF (Lock)

9. Starling Marte, DH (Lock)

10. Tyrone Taylor, 4OF (Lock)

11. Middle Infielder? Luisangel Acuna?

12. Starting 1B? Brett Baty?

13. Sean Manaea (Lock)

14. Kodai Senga (Lock)

15. David Peterson (Lock)

16. Frankie Montas (Lock)

17. Clay Holmes (Lock)

18. 6th Starter (Paul Blackburn or Griffin Canning)

19. Edwin Diaz (Lock)

20. A.J. Minter (Lock)

21. Ryne Stanek (Lock)

22. Reed Garrett

23. Jose Butto

24. Sean Reid Foley

25. Dedniel Nunez

26. Danny Young

??. Paul Blackburn/Griffin Canning

??. Tylor Megill

??. Huascar Brazoban

??. Genesis Cabrerea

We also have the conundrum of 3B/1B which is caused by the notable lack of Pete Alonso. Is the plan to have Winker play 1B and Vientos play 3rd? Is the plan to have Baty play 3rd and Vientos 1st (with Winker at DH with Marte)? I don't think Mauricio will be ready and healthy to play in Queens until at least June. On this topic, I'm getting sick of the fake articles claiming to have information on Alonso's future. His chances of winding up back in Queens get lower and lower as the Mets plan for the year has had to shift.

Glad to see some of the prospects moving forward. It is the lifeline of a franchise to draft correctly and have a strong pipeline of talent coming up. Would love for Sproat to make the leap up in 2025 and would assume that Mauricio when healthy will be on the big club. Would be thrilled if Stanek does come back on a one year deal. Would have been happier with Kirby Yates but the Dodgers just signed him, for a lot of money, but if you look at his 2024 stats, he is worth the money. Still want Alonso to realize the Mets offer is the best and come back into the fold.
