Prospects

When it comes to prospects, the New York Mets organization isn't an ideal place to do your shopping. Coming into the season, only one Mets prospect cracked top-100 industry lists, and that was Andres Gimenez.

What I am doing is taking a look at the top minor league pitching prospects to see how they're performing in the minor leagues so far this season. Think of this as one of the appetizers to my mid-season rankings update. The side salad with ranch dressing on the side, if you will.

The Baseball Show, guest Craig Mish Craig Mish (@CraigMish) is the national host for SiriusXM's Baseball coverage, and he brings all of that insight and knowledge to The Baseball Show this week.
