Great show Ryan. Just remember these guys are “” prospects” until proven otherwise and most of the time with a large list like this most of them don’t make it.
It's a numbers game. The more prospects you give a shot, the more likely one or two will succeed. The alternative of signing FA position player stars like Soto and Alonso ($80 mil. a season between them) is that you are condemning our pitching staff to suck for the next ten years. The Mets fans who insist Cohen will have a $500 annual payroll are dreaming; he wants to get it down around $300, which is why he brought in Stearns.
Mauricio being healthy would have destroyed Vientos career because he would not have gotten his opportunity because for some strange reason the Mets front office and fans did not believe in him.
@@rickjason215 Better than Vientos?Mauricio hit .243. Vientos has 12 homers and is hitting in the .290s. The only thing Mauricio has done is steal bases. Maybe he has more range. Vientos has done a good job at 3rd.
@MrAschiff You are saying that like Vientos's slash wasn't 167/.268/.278 And .211/.253/.367 the two prior years. It's not a question that Mauricio had looked way more impressive at the time. That was the point being made.
@@Jeremy-The-Bullfrog Vientos was hardly given the chance to play those years. If you followed Vientos's career in the minors like I did, you would know that every time he moved up a level, it would take him a month to adjust and then he'd start to rake. I wasn't necessarily talking about the performance; Vientos has much more power and his on-base % has always been better than Mauricio's throughout the minors.
Great show today, thanks for updating the status of the prospects. Yeah, lost season for Williams and Gilbert. But still, I haven't been so excited about a group of young position players in 40 years. (Normally the Mets had pitching and no hitting.) I'm hoping opening day 2026 is: C-Alvarez; 1B-Ryan Clifford; 2B-Acuna; SS-Lindor; 3B-Vientos; LF-Nimmo; CF-Jett Williams; RF-Mauricio with Gilbert as the 4th outfielder. Or Mauricio can play 3B and Vientos can DH. Plenty of hitting there and 7 of the 9 are on low-budget contracts, leaving us free to spend big dollars on FA pitchers, both starters and relievers. Soto and Alonso are not only unnecessary, but they would force us to have an entire pitching staff for the foreseeable future picked out of the dumpster; the typical scores would be like a football game, 17-14 -- exciting but long.
Side note. I’m enjoying the Mets offensive surge. Even though our bullpen is atrocious. So many years being a Mets fan where offense wasn’t a strength. We’ve always been a pretty good pitching, bullpen and solid to sub par offense. Low run showing wins if at all. But this team they have a camaraderie, a belief at the plate that has resurrected their season. I believe the Mets address bullpen depth this offseason. They have money to spend and will spend it wisely.
Injuries usually come from two sources, 1) desperation, 2) no ppip.. PPIP stands for planning preparation improves performance. It's crazy how the players come in to spring training and blow out their muscles, tendons.. Its because their offseasons was spent sitting on their glutes. There are a variety of low key workours outside that strengthen the muscles around the hard worked tendons. Its these muscles that reduce tendonitis, tears etc. 1st things 1st get up off your glutes, exercise glutes, repetitive low weights low Reps, done in 2 to 3 sets over 2 hour periods allows blood flow to bring the protein building blocks to the targeted areas. Hyper weights desperados work outside create inflammation and breakdowns. The mental plan should be a calm singular focus in harmony with your bodies reflexes.
mauriciooooooo 😮😫 Cohen wouldve given Mauricio that Dominican winter league money out of his pocket dammit. if you have money problems Mets, just talk to Uncle Stevie from now on, he got you.
Williams will be a high average guy that may hit 10 homers in a season. Gilbert ceiling is a Lenny Dykstra type player. I don't see anything extraordinary coming from him. Mauricio is the one with immense raw talent in all sides of the ball. These "rankings" as usually wrong and useless.
Gilbert's offensive upside is Dykstra, agreed, but defensively he is much better than Dykstra. Acuna and Williams will run wild on the basepaths, terrorizing the other teams' catchers.
We need to wait for Mauricio next year for compare him with others Mets young players. For now Vientos is better player than Mauricio, more power, average, OBP, RBI and playing steady defense.When Mauricio comeback will be a second base option, with Acuña or Williams, but Vientos looks the Mets 3B of the future..
I think the Mets will trade McNeil at the deadline. Teams like Seatle would be willing to roll the dice on him. McNeil is a career 290 hitter who can play several positions.
@@fr2ncm9 It's masterful how management has handled the 26th man roster. September will prove my point when the Mets will all be well rested and ready for the playoffs.
Why people applauded when our manager was thrown out? that's bad. It's never when anyone from our team is thrown out, it could derail the team's focus.
Yeah I think people like to see a manager that sticks up for his players and can show some fire when needed. Every fan will applaud their team’s manager in a situation like that.
We don’t need to replace Diekman with a lefty. Yes it would be preferable but how about we just replace him with a good pitcher who can get outs! Screw lefty/right crap. Let’s just get good pitchers.
@@MrAschiff So basically you want to watch baseball games with scores like football, such as 17-14? That's what happens if you give Alonso $30 mil. a season like he wants for the next 7-8 seasons. A whole pitching staff assembled by dumpster diving.
The team should tie up Vientos and Alvarez long term like the Braves do with their young players. It will be cheaper now than later.
They should definitely look into it, especially with Alvarez. He’s the kind of guy you want to make a lifelong Met.
Yes agree not important right now more pressing issues like pen
Both should be given 8-10 year offers.
Congrats on 9k! Youre my daily commute to work listen

Good analysis
Im glad you brought up lavender. I was looking forward to seeing him then wham. I really like mauricio too. Hopefully theyre in a bright future.
Honestly though, if Mauricio did not get hurt, he'd be up and Vientos would have never gotten a chance.
Mauricio being healthy would have destroyed Vientos career because he would not have gotten his opportunity because for some strange reason the Mets front office and fans did not believe in him.
Mauricio looked very good. Maybe better than Vientos. I thought Baty was the best prospect. Funny how you never know.
@@rickjason215 Better than Vientos?Mauricio hit .243. Vientos has 12 homers and is hitting in the .290s. The only thing Mauricio has done is steal bases. Maybe he has more range. Vientos has done a good job at 3rd.

More likely "OMG" Jose Ingeles cause he would have been utility role player

Is Mauricio gonna have just enough power, hit for average or glove to be an everyday player. Not sure about that. Especially on the Mets now.
@GeraldM_inNC To run wild on the basepaths tgwy have to get on base! LOL
@@cooldude7821if McNeil can so can Mauricio.
Why was Nunez not available? Only threw 3 pitches the night before.
That's the magic of Menbozo
All's well that ends well. He's fresh now.
He warmed up twice on Thursday night.
@@jamesbuckley8917did you miss the fact that Mendoza wasn't even there?
Taylor should be in the OF over Stewart today. Taylor offers great D and speed on the bases. Stewart offers 2 K’s and a GIDP.
Ben Gamel still is with the major league team?
Who do you go to in the 8th? Houser? Butto?
Houser should be DFA'd...PERIOD
Nunez 12 IR, 0 IR_S

They won. Who cares.
@@cooldude7821it’s not about them winning, it’s about how an ejection can affect the team onwards.
It shows passion. It shows he protecting his players. There's been managers who purposely get tossed just to fire up the team.

We can replace Diekman with a bag of balls! The Mets should DFA him before all-star game.
This bullpen is absolute trash
That's being generous! Stearns' dumpster-diving for the starting staff seems to have been successful, but the same can't be said for the bullpen.
They have to do something by the trade deadline, or this team is screwed. No lead is ever safe, even against a scrub team like the Rockies.
Mauricio has more talent than both Alvarez and Vientos. Scary thought. Mets don't need Alonso. They can use that money for pitching.
They need Alonso. He's not having a particularly good year, but there's nobody on this team that has his type of power.
You can't compare a catcher to an infielder like Mauricio.
Maurcio doesn't have Vientos' and Alvarez's power.
@@MrAschiff Alonso screwed himself. Stearns ain't resigning him. He's a goner.
@@MrAschiff So basically you want to watch baseball games with scores like football, such as 17-14? That's what happens if you give Alonso $30 mil. a season like he wants for the next 7-8 seasons. A whole pitching staff assembled by dumpster diving.
