That means we should put him in the bullpen. Immediately!

but cool that people are getting excited about these guys. Can’t wait til they start playing and advancing

who read this and thought the mets had a young pitcher in their system named juan uribe

Pretty impressive for an 18yo lefty to throw 94 even if that’s max effort.

Could we please just banish that whole generation part of the thing and go with something else this time around? Something like Genesis K or anything else you can think of.

Thanks, and thanks again for the preview.

Generation K 2.0 seems like such a nice name.
Of course, what´s lacking is a high draft pick – enter RHP Michael Fulmer who, once he signs, should be on a similar career path, probably with a good shot to open 2012 in the Sand Gnats rotation with these three.

Of course, I also very much hope that we won´t have to wait for these 3 (4) pitchers to lead us back to the promised land. Because we´d indeed be looking at 2015 or 2016 in that case.

However, if they stay healthy, the current group of upper level pitchers Harvey, Familia, Mejia, Carson, Gorski, etc. produces enough to join Niese, Gee and others on the major league staff by 2013, then the next group will be very interesting trade bait, possibly. Or nice internal replenishing.

Seems like he´s about to join the trio:

I´m really intrigued by this pick. His scouting report sounds a lot like that of LAD RH Chad Billingsley. And while Billingsley has been somewhat inconsistent at times, he has generally been a legit # 2 SP for LA over the past 4 years.

Let´s hope he stays healthy and joins the front-end of the next wave of P prospects.
