When it comes to our favorite teams, like the New York Mets, and prospects we always tend to gravitate towards the shiny new toy. Often we look past those players we were once enamored with for the younger guy who recently broke onto the scene.
There’s a phrase that goes, “The devil I don’t know,” and that seems to fit the prospect frenzy cycle perfectly. What we should not forget is why we were once so intrigued by a prospect, to begin with.
The Mets farm system has fallen off in terms of high-end talent, but that is to be expected when your system graduates multiple All-Star pitchers and the number one prospect in baseball, Amed Rosario.
