The New York Mets are no strangers to seeing a top prospect fizzle out before making an impact in the big leagues. Shortstop Amed Rosario is playing like he wants to join the club.
The 1990s was littered with failed potential. Jason Isringhausen, Bobby Jones, Bill Pulsipher, and Paul Wilson are four of the obvious names that come to mind. There are also guys like Jay Payton and Alex Escobar who never made it either.
Not all of the franchise’s top prospects in recent years have been complete busts.
