In June of 2006, the draft was the last thing on most Mets’ fans minds (including my own, as a pre-teen, first-time avid fan). The major league team, lead by young stars David Wright and Jose Reyes along with veterans Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado, was making a joke of the National League. Nevertheless, the Mets added 35 players to the organization over the two night event, and while it certainly wasn’t the most successful draft in team history, there were some good storylines and a late round gem.
