2012 New York Mets Top 16 Prospects

Posted on February 9, 2012 by Jonathan C. Mitchell

The New York Mets system is saved from being a bottom five system thanks to a trade last year, the past two drafts, and their International signings.

The system still has a ways to go but it has some exciting arms at the top and some upside picks from the 2011 draft.

Below are my top 16 prospects with 2012 opening day age, position, and comments on each player. Below the top 16 is a small list of additional notable names. Enjoy.
