The strategy the Mets have done under Sandy the past two years has been:
First Round: Raw, high upside position player
Supplemental and 2nd/3rd Round: College Players, medium upside, medium downside established players that will move through organization fast and sign cheap.
Later Rounds: Pitchers who will cost more too sign and have high upside, yet very raw.
Thus far, this seems like it is a pretty good model. We already have Michael Fulmer looking like a real great prospect (he was a supplemental pick in 2011, so the strategy I presented is a bit flawed lol).
And we have guys like Chris Flexen and Corey Oswalt, 18 year old kids who didn't fully commit to pitching until this year, flashing so much talent yet are so raw.
This is what gets me excited for the future. The Mets pitching depth has become so so deep. Not only do we have Wheeler, Meija, Familia, McHugh, Hefner ready to come contribute either pen or rotation, we also have
Fulmer http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=605242
(scouts are excited about his power arm, and he's only 19 and wrecked in Savannah)
Rafael Montero (http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=606160)
Domingo Tapia (http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?pos=P&sid=t506&t=p_pbp&pid=593619)
Hansel Robles (http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=570663)
Darin Gorski (http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=571719)
Gabriel Ynoa (http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?pos=P&sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=593679)
Luis Mateo (http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=606716)
Chris Flexen (http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?pos=P&sid=t506&t=p_pbp&pid=623167)
Corey Oswalt (http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?pos=P&sid=t506&t=p_pbp&pid=621261)
And, holy crow, STEVEN MATZ IS THROWING AGAIN! (http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?pos=P&sid=t506&t=p_pbp&pid=571927)
Now, all of these guys will be ready, at the latest, by 2016. At this point, we'd still have:
Harvey
Wheeler
Niese
Gee
That leaves only one rotation spot to fill 4 years down the road, with all those arms. Most of those guys will be in the bullpen, but that is going to be a talented bullpen.
So basically, what we need to draft are position players, mostly shortstops, catchers and outfielders (I say this because shortstops are talented enough to play nearly anywhere, catchers are few and far between and outfielders are very valuable, as they can usually play 1st if something happens with Ike)
Sorry I got off topic, just got really involved with this post lol.
