John Sickels said:

“There is some nice pitching in this system, but depth in position players is very weak. Overall the system is better than it looks at first, but lack of hitting depth is a problem, and I hate the way they rush some of their prospects.”

The Mets have good prospects, only 4-5 of them are in the upper-ranks of the minor league system, but with the draft picks we have this year, along with the international signings, we should have a good if not great system within the next 2-3 years.
