Mark Herman has a story on Dana Brand and his new book METS FAN. As I’ve told you beofre this is a must read for all us Mets fans and Dana is truly a gentleman and a scholar.

Here are your Top 10 Mets prospects as per Baseball America:

 

1. Fernando Martinez 

2. Deolis Guerra 

3. Carlos Gomez 

4. Kevin Mulvey 

5. Eddie Kunz 

6. Brant Rustich 

7. Philip Humber 

8. Jon Niese 

9. Nathan Vineyard 

10. Robert Parnell

With the exception of F-Mart and Car-Go all are pitchers. Mulvey is get better writes up all the time and could viv for a spot on the ’08 Mets. I saw Kunz and Rustich pitch for Brooklyn this past summer and both are big boys who throw hard. In fact I can see a Pelfery-Kunz-Rustich NASTY BOYS like back of the bullpen for the Mets. By the way check out Toby Hyde’s great Mets Minors Report. 

WOW Kevin Kiernan has come up with something not discussed any where in the Mets blogspehre? The Mets need a front line starting pitcher. Who knew? He even comes up with a guy, Dan Haren of the Oakland A’s WOW gee let me guess Billy Beane would want Lastings Milledge in a deal for Haren. Man great reading of blogs errrrr I mean great reporting by Kiernan.

Time for some dumpster diving from Baseball America as they have a list of minor league free agents. Check out the list and tell me you wouldn’t bring in LHP Randy Choate, RHP Winston Abreu and RHP Ron Chiavcci to St. Lonesome for a look see. Or a left handed hitting catcher like Mark Johnson?
