The New York Mets have drafted relatively well in the past decade, but that doesn’t mean they’re without flaws. Despite some success in the draft, the Mets have been prone to the dreaded “bust” at times.
They can’t seem to avoid the early bust ruining a draft class. It’s been a long time since the Mets have had a third-round pick make the majors. Only three second-round picks in this past decade have made any appearances in the majors. Only one of them is currently on a major league roster.
It’s great when a team gets major league talent in the first-round and finds stars late, but the lack of depth in these classes has killed them.
