By David Rubin

From the MLB Network: "MLB.Com's Best Prospects for the 2011 Season" - as Mack said, we can probably just join the show in progress with 10 minutes left to catch the first Met prospect, but we also know that, after the new brain-trust utilizes their top 3 picks, it will feature more top Met prospects on this list next season!!

I'm sure this will be a very interesting and well-done show!! Give it a watch!!
