DateQuestionAnswer
2016-08-05 13:00:00 (link to chat)I know you sorta dealt with this on twitter a drop ago but how many Mets prospects do you think would be able to crack an Angels or Marlins top 5?
(Gregory from Connecticut)
Hmm, okay let's ballpark this. The fifth best prospect in the Marlins system is like...Stone Garrett? In the Angels...jeez, um...Victor Alcantara? How many guys do the Mets have better than those duds. Mets have some depth in 45 types so we could stretch well into the Top 20 I'd bet. Might be a fun deep dive this offseason.
