Project Prospect Updated Top 50
Can anyone remember the last time the Mets had three guys show up on a Top 50 prospects list? This one is a bit of a unique take, the method is identifying guys with high floors, so that's why Niese gets such a high ranking. But, you know, the Mets system obviously has nothing in the upper levels.

Have ZERO entries on this list.

But, but
the Mets have an awful farm system! Mike Francesca told me so!

Francesa
Why does anyone listen to that bozo? The guy is a fat overweight loudmouth who has never played any sport in his entire life. I used to listen to the show when Dog was there. He was entertaining and played devils advocate with Francessa. Now I cant listen to the show anymore. Its just one guy screaming his pointless opinion into the microphone. Besides, Francessa is boring as hell and he insults his callers. I get my met fix from Joe and Evan and then I turn it off .

I don't think I have listened to any WFAN broadcast aside from an actual ballgame
In at least half a decade, if not longer lol.

when driving
I’ll turn on the FAN. I like Richard Neer, if only because of memories of him as one of the original free form rock deejays on wnew. And Somers can be funny, even though his take on the Mets can be fairly conventional. I kinda like how he deals with the mouthbreather callers.

Joe and Evan are worse
at least they are dumber. Francesca is agenda-driven and ill—natured, and he seems to like insulting people and running people out of town. (He likes the power kick.) Joe and Evan are just out and out morons. I do listen to a few minutes of WFAN per week to see what Joe Fan is thinking.
Nothing can get by him; especially in a small room: Mike Francessa

Evan is kinda bearable.
Joe is just plain awful.

And Francesca isn't really that dumb
He’s just such a megalomaniac that whenever he makes a cosmically stupid argument (e.g. Joba should be in the pen; the Mets’ core is the reason for their disappointing seasons), he proceeds full throttle to turn it into a crusade, his mind never even able to admit into its conscious that he is wrong. he just proceeds full steam with psychotic self-certitude, regardless of how obviously wrong events reveal him to be. Hughes has stepped in as a good set-up guy (#2 reliever). This goes to show why he was wrong about Joba. It’s MUCH easier to find good 8th inning guys than quality starters.
That and he’s an asshole who gets his kicks from ruining careers.

interesting top 50
Holland number 2? I like him, but I would imagine most would rank him slightly lower. And no Michael Taylor?
