So nice to see something go right. This will certainly be a boost to the system adding 3 young talents like they did in this draft. Hopefully we can add some more to the system with the IF signing period and I assume through trades at the deadline.

Yep. I'm cautiously optimistic that the state of the farm system will be much improved this time next year. With the continued development of Maurico, Vientos and SWR; the Alvarez, Hernandez and Lugo trio in the GCL (hopefully Valdez isn't too far behind); addition of Baty, Allan and Wolf via the draft; #26 IFA Alexander Ramirez likely to sign with the Mets; and at least a couple decent (or better) prospects added by moving Wheeler, Frazier, etc. at the deadline, the system has a chance to improve by leaps and bounds.
This doesn't include the return of Kilome in 2020; a guy like Szapucki having a Kay-like step forward in Year 2 after coming back from injury; Newton figuring things out and maximizing the raw ability; and lesser prospects, but still potential major leaguers, like Dibrell, Cortes, Ali Sanchez working their way up the ranks.
This is all an optimistic take, of course, as any or all of these guys could fizzle out at any time, but I still think there's a lot to like.

That is part of what the Mets must focus on. The other part is strengthening the team's Minor League player development program.

At no point in the next 5 years will our farm system be as strong, or churn out as many good/great players as it did from 2012-2016.

I find this talk about Kelenic comical. He's a 19 year old kid who hit .253 at Kingsport and struck out once a game and people are talking like he's the second coming. Get real people. When you have a chance to get the best reliever in the game who's only 24 and give up Kelenic in the deal, you MAKE that deal. Stop with the nonsense.
