I fell in love with the Mets during the 2006 playoff run and became obsessed with the Mets minor league system while looking for a brighter future during the 2009-2014 era. I hope to provide interesting analysis of the minors and am excited to have the opportunity to write for MMO and MMN.

    Alonso is a beast. I’m afraid he may be blocked by Smith unless a trade/injury happens. I doubt he has athleticism for LF or 3B. Could be a Kyle Schwarber situation here
