Mets Farm Showing Signs of Growth
New York Mets Fan Blog —
Baseball America recently released their top 10 prospects of the Mets' farm system . As you'd expect, it's a cavalcade of young ones mixed with ballplayers facing make-it-or-break-it time.

Instead, it's going to be a rebuilt bullpen, a mediocre starting rotation and a likely repeat of Delgado's disappearing act in the middle of the lineup next summer. ***** I saw this and my first thought was wow, how good IS this Wilmer Flores kid anyway? ...

Mets Top 10 – Five Years Later
Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest —
... Since Gomez has never developed on the offensive side I will give it to the pitcher, Bannister, who is a very serviceable starter for a big league team. The word I would describe for that list is “mediocre”. The top three you might have to call disgusting, but why resort to name calling. If you want to go a step further, Matt Peterson, Bob Keppel, and Pat Strange were all top pitching prospects before Omar took over and you all know how each worked out.
Now let’s look at the current list and see the difference
