    It is pretty funny that there are a lot of Rays fans there :lol:

    If I hear that the Mets continue this silly slotting system I may have to break something.

    They will, because the Wilpons are a bunch of sewing circle assholes that don't want to upset MLB.

    Son of a former Yankee for the Mets? Shocking!

    Maybe this guy is in case they don't get Teixeira.

    I think they could've gotten him at 22. Wanted Friedrich there.

    Sorry, 3rd. I can't believe that Havens is going to play SS for the Mets. Maybe the new second baseman?

    I'd love to have him at second base, or like they said, possible catcher.

    Wright, Reyes, Havens, Davis could make for a nice infield in a few years.

    can't really complain about position players when the farm is so depleted and they have such stiffs playing at certain positions in the big leagues.
