Sickels' Top 100 Prospect List?

supermets — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 23:03:48 -0000

NY Baseball Digest has an article about Sickels' Top 100 list, which I didn't know he even made. (Doesn't he usually make a 50/50 list?)

I assume this is in his prospect book (which I didn't buy) but I was just wondering if this will be posted on this website.

The article only talks about the 4 Mets and the 4 Yankees in the Top 100, so I'd like to see the rest of the list without buying the book that I can't afford.

And for those who don't want to open the link, here is what is listed:

29: Wilmer Flores
31: Fernando Martinez
37: Jesus Montero
39: Jonathan Niese
56: Austin Jackson
58: Dellin Betances
77: Mike Carp
91: Zach McAllister

Mets Shadow Draft

supermets — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 23:42:14 -0000

I decided to start a mets shadow draft this year. Here's what I have so far:

18: Ike Davis (best bat left on the board, I really like him)

22: Christian Freidrich (a steal with pick #22, should move quickly)

33: Zach Collier (after taking pretty safe college guys at 18 and 22, I decided to go with the high reward OF. I was debating between him, DeVall, and Scheppers, but decided Scheppers might fall to the second round. If I had known he wouldn't, I might have gone with him.)

68: Tim Melville (If I'm the Mets and I think he has a chance of signing, I take him here. If I think he wants way too much money, and I mean WAY TOO MUCH, then I'd go with Tyler Sample.)

100: Ross Seaton (Really glad to get him this late, he has great potential, and he already has a good fastball and slider)

134: Adrian Nieto

164: Zach Putnam (I love getting him this late)

194: Isaac Galloway (Love getting him, it was between him and Thames. If I could see more of Thames medical record, I would probably have gone with him)

That's what I have so far. I I think I did far better than the Mets.

EDIT: Added Adrian Nieto as 134th pick, added Putnam, Galloway

Mike Carp and Nick Evans

supermets — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 21:01:51 -0000

Both play for the Binghamton Mets and are first baseman. They've both been hitting outstandingly so far(One plays DH, other at first everyday).

Both players were drafted out of high school in 2004. Evans is 22, and Carp is 21(22 in June).

In 2006, Carp has a breakout year at Hi-A, but he struggled with injuries in 2007, so he's repeating AA. In 2007, Evans had a breakout year in Hi-A, and now he's at AA.

Carp is hitting .474 with 4 HR, 4 2B, 13 RBI, a .895 SLG and a .500 OBP. His entire career, people have been worried about his ability to hit lefties, who he has never hit, but he has 2 HR and is hitting .412 against LHP this year

Evans is hitting .444 with 2 HR, 3 2B, 2 3B, 13 RBI, a .806 SLG and a .476 OBP.

Do either of these guys have a chance of becoming real prospects? Top 100 guys?
