I’ve been doing this for quite some time now (since 2008) and it’s been a long time since the Mets didn’t send a press release about the Draft Picks.
I believe there to be two mailing lists – the one that the Corporate Guys manage – that goes to people like Gary Cohen and newspapers. Then there’s “List B” which includes the bloggers and gets used when The Suit can’t be bothered, but someone in marketing wants us to push 20 tickets for $20 specials when the Mets are out of it…I will be getting PLENTY of press releases in the second half.
Anyway, I couldn’t care less about the draft, but it is interesting that the Mets didn’t send anything.
Anyway, MLB.com says the Mets took a SS which makes sense since their best prospect is a SS who is being blocked buy a guy who hates the customers….great pick Mets!
In (Colin) Houck, a highly regarded shortstop from Parkview High School in Lilburn, Ga., the Mets selected a two-sport star athlete whom MLB Pipeline rated 12th overall in the 2023 Draft class. (Via MLB.com)
Anyway, there’s the news and if the Mets can’t be bothered to cut and paste into an email, I can’t be bothered to be excited about it.
Tonight, Pete Alonso gets to do the one thing he’s good at.
