The Mets are preparing for this years amateur draft. The Mets will not have a number one pick because of Francisco Rodriguez. The Mets will be giving up the 24th Pick in the first round...
So that means the Mets would not pick until the 72nd pick overall...
Top evaluators say the Mets would be looking at more pitching to add to their minor league pack...
One local talent who could potentially be in play at No. 72 is David Hale, a right-hander from Princeton. The 6-foot-2 junior is the No. 76 overall prospect in the draft, according to Baseball America.
Mets Note:
The Mets have leaned on college players in the draft in recent years. Since 2005, they have selected 11 college players out of their 14 picks in the top three rounds of the draft, including last year when they grabbed three college players (Ike Davis, Reese Havens and Brad Holt) with their first three selections.
