The Mets’ minor league system is generally regarded as one of the weaker systems in Major League Baseball- not the worst, firmly in the bottom half, perhaps even the bottom third. While a handful of blunders have contributed to that- signing Michael Cuddyer and losing their first-round selection in the 2015 draft, and a strategy of drafting low-upside college players in an effort to save money- the system has graduated an incredible number of players. Over just the last few years, Amed Rosario, Dominic Smith, Brandon Nimmo, Jeff McNeil, Tomas Nido, Corey Oswalt, Seth Lugo, Robert Gsellman, Ty Bashlor, Chris Flexen, and Drew Smith have all made their MLB debuts and lost their prospect eligibility.
