A lot has been made of the New York Mets‘ lack of top-end talent in the high minors. Much of it is true; the Mets don’t have their top prospects close to major league ready. They don’t have an elite prospect ready to step in if someone gets injured.
The Mets’ lack of prospect elite prospect depth at the top has led to a lot of questions about their real possibilities this season. If a starting pitcher gets injured what happens the Mets go to Michael Wacha? Nobody wants that, but it might be a reality.
