Mets Have Worst Scouting Director in MLB?
Andy Seiler did a ranking of all the scouting directors in Major League Baseball for his blog MLB Bonus Baby. You are never going to guess who came in at #30 for last place…
30. New York Mets, Rudy Terrasas: I have to go with the director that was almost on the chopping block at the end of season in 2009. Terrasas is in a difficult predicament, having few resources and picking hit-or-miss players, making his job even more difficult. The few resources he’s given are sometimes wasted on players that have no future as Major League players. For that reason, he gets the last spot on the list.
Yes, the Mets have had bad drafts lately, but they are definitely not the worst scouting team in baseball. Since Rudy Terrasas took over the Mets have produced major leaguers in Kevin Mulvey, Joe Smith, Daniel Murphy, Tobi Stoner, and Eddie Kunz. Not to mention the 2008 draft that saw Ike Davis, Reese Havens, Brad Holt, Kirk Nieuwenhuis, and Kyle Allen.
The Cardinals on the other hand since Jeff Lunhow have taken over have flopped 1st round picks Adam Ottavino, Tyler Herron, Mark Mccormick, and arguably Pete Kozma. The only draft picks that pop out to me are Chris Perez, Colby Rasmus, Mitch Boggs, and Tyler Greene. That is also with an extra year of drafting and much much more money to spend. Their last two drafts have looked a little better, but that is just because of top talents who fell to them (Shelby Miller and Brett Wallace). Somehow though they have found their found their way to #24 on the list.
The Mets are just always taking crap for their drafting, but if you look at their roster they have the homegrown talents of David Wright, Jose Reyes, Jon Niese, Mike Pelfrey, Angel Pagan, Bobby Parnell, Mike Jacobs, Fernando Martinez and Jason Bay went through the system even though he wasn’t drafted or signed by the Mets. Its the whole perception that the Mets farm sucks that makes people give them dead last rankings like this. I don’t see how a team that currently has a farm in the #13-18 range can have the worst scouting director in the league. If anyone can fill me in on how this makes sense it would be greatly appreciated.
Update: Look at this list. Anyone still care to say the Cardinals have a better scouting director. Continue reading
Come on Mets Bring in Rios
After watching another game against Philly with this lineup the Mets are throwing out there it is pretty evident that the Mets need to make a trade. Despite reports that there are “no sellers” in the trade market right now everyone knows that the Toronto Blue Jays are desperate to make cap room in order to keep Roy “Doc” Halladay, one of the best pitchers in the league. And why not Halladay is arguably the best pitcher in baseball. Therer is also a chance Haladay takes a small home town discount in order to stay in Toronto, considering he took 3 years $40 mill last time, giving the Blue Jays every more reason to due everything in their power to make salary room for him.

Amazin’ Stories – F-Mart is Out
Fernando Martinez is out of action with pain behind his right knee. He said he experienced similar pain two years ago and it cost him six weeks. But he insisted this should just be a couple days. He will be examined by team doctors Monday in New York.
Carlos Beltran Will Not Require Surgery
The Daily New’s Adam Rubin has finally provided us with some good news about the New York Mets. Some earlier reports were as bad as there was a chance that Carlos Beltran‘s career was in danger, but after a visit to knee specialist Dr. Richard Steadman he has concluded that Beltran merely has a bone bruise, will not require surgery, and should be able to come back after the All-Star Game.
