Man, I’ve been breaking out the Mets organization by position for seven years now and I dread every time we get around to the catchers. I have never seen a team so master the art of drafting and signing players that can hit one home run and hit .188. Josh Thole kept me going for a few years and, before him, I loved Jesus Flores, but that’s about it.


Not much has changed this year. Juan Centeno did have a decent season for St. Lucie and I liked what I saw of Albert Cordero, but past that, it’s mostly gloom and doom. Jeff Glenn and Miquel Leaf both get good marks from the scouts, but sadly, once again the Mets do not have a definitive prospect in the system.


I’d like to see a little bit of cleaning of the house here. The problem is you need a certain amout of subs to handle the duties in extended camp and spring training.


I expect Mike Nickeas to return to Buffalo in 2012 because the pitchers simply love him to catch them. We should also see Kai Gronauer get a AAA testing.


Centeno will catch Binghamton while Cordero will start in St. Lucie. The number two is up in the air in both clubs, but I’d like to see Dusty Ryan and Blake Forsythe get the nod.


It’s going to be interesting to see who starts in Savannah. It could be either Cam Maron, Nelfi Zapata, or Xorge Carillo.


The rest… steak knives.

I guess Blake is a wash. Shame. Early draft pick and so little to show for it. How can evaluators be so wrong?

Hey Charles... happy Sunday.

First of all, you hav earned my respect with your professional comments. Thanks for being a major part of the site.

The Forsythe thing was a rolling of the dice. The Mets brass chose to ignore his piss poor junior year and go with the incredible numbers he punched out as a sophomore. He was easily projected back then as a sure fire first rounder and it was a good gamble by the Mets that just doesn't seem to be working out.

Nice guy that knows he's not delivering.

I expect him to go sub next season and start to fade away.

I think Cam Maron is the real deal. Only 20, right? Catchers develop late, but he's already hitting quite well. I hope he starts in Savannah.
