2018 DRAFT!!!!

[R Nitelight]

Mets aren't going to take the best player.

They're going to take the closest to the Majors.

To clarify, the Mets got the sixth pick, right?

They're not the most reliable but MyMLBdraft published a mock a couple days ago:

They have us taking Kelenic. Also, a familiar name at #9.

I'm good with Kelenic. Resembles Moniak.

But I assume they grab an arm.

Totally doesn't resemble Moniak

I didn't mean it as a knock. I know Moniak had a lousy season. I said above I'd be fine with Kelenic. I think he looks really good even if it's going to take a while till we'd see him.

I could 100% see this.

Sometimes that happens to be the best player. It was in 2014.

Where are you guys at? I can't imagine I'm the only guy pumped for the 6th and beyond pick in a loaded draft.

I'll be a lot more pumped when the time comes. I like that the mets appear to have done well in the 2017 international draft (Mauricio & Hernandez) though both are probably still 16 and a long ways away. I like that they're said to be lined up to sign 2 top guys in 2018 too. Anytime they add young talent is a plus, or if they add a college guy who's contribute sooner, that's good too.

I'm looking forward to the draft but it's also a long ways away. Both the 1st and 2nd round picks could be fun. By the 3rd round, it's usually more of a crap shoot, but I'm looking forward to the top 2, big-time.

Nothing to really base this on, but this would be a great pick.

[corydd7]

Well he is consensus top 10 pick. He was already drafted by the mets and he hit 100 last Friday with dominant stuff. He and Mize will be the first two college arms off the board.

Nick Madragal broke his wrist on a slide into home, out for a month. Ethan Hankins has minor shoulder issue and has been shutdown.
