Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
Last week was leg day, this week is arms; today’s promote-extend-trade focuses on our favorite upper body workouts. Nobody likes benching, both because it’s hard and because it’s socially awkward to ask for a spot on your 100lb bar. (Still waiting on a protein powder sponsorship we’ll get back to you on that).
On to the draft follows. We’ve got the full crew in today, and each has two guys to follow:
- Steve: OF Noah Franco, IMG Academy (HS)
- Steve: OF Dakota Jordan, Mississippi State
- Thomas: LHP Cam Caminiti, Saguaro HS
- Thomas: 3B/SS Kaelen Culpepper, Kansas state
- Lukas: RHP Michael Massey, Wake Forest
- Lukas: OF Slade Caldwell, Valley View HS
- Ken: RHP Drew Beam, Tennessee
- Ken: OF Carson Benge, Oklahoma State
Last year was our first failure to predict the Mets’ 1st rounder in three seasons, a failure we’ll chalk up to the Mets not selecting til 32.
