Better be a star now or be traded for one. Needs to be a home run

No but I am pretty confident this pick will not be the player Bourn is

Austin Wilson or Aaron Judge, 2 OFers for example or P Mike Appel when Pirates pass on him again

I know the names. They need to hit a home run with the pick

"No but I am pretty confident this pick will not be the player Bourn is "
What about the cost of said pick versus the cost of Bourn plus the pick potentially? What about the years, etc.? The Mets are trying to build up, and people even criticizing them for valuing important things like picks.

I never said he was but the draft pick likely will never be as valuable to the mets as Bourn would have been

You hit on the only point. The cost. Survey says number one answer. Wilponzis save again

Except they offered a contract of four years. The cost was not the problem; the pick was.
