The Mets passed in round 40, the 4th team to pass.
The signing deadline is August 15, 2007.

GREEN: Player is signed.
RED: Player will not sign.

Initial roster assignment is indicated in [brackets].

Reason for player not signing:
Maxie - will attend University of Southern Mississippi
Johnson - will attend University of Jacksonville

Jordan Abruzzo, C, University of San Diego, R/R, 6-3, 230, 8/12/84 has signed and will be in St Lucie on Monday I believe.

I hope we find a way to sign both Abbott and Abshire.

The oldest guy we drafted signed first.

Makes sense.

Efferson and Abshire share my b-day (5 years off... but still) therefore, automatic inclination to root for them to sign and do well

Lucas has signed per article from Nitey

"Florida State baseball coach Mike Martin will be without one of his options for replacing second baseman Tony Thomas next season. And Florida State must also replace outfielder Mark Gildea.

FSU signee Richard Lucas of Jacksonville Wolfson, a fourth-round pick of the New York Mets, informed the Seminole staff on Monday he has signed a professional baseball contract. Martin had entertained the idea of starting Lucas at third base and moving Jason Stidham to second base for the 2008 season."

Brandon Richey has signed, will begin working out tomorrow in St Lucie

Thanks Metro and Nitey!

Glen Johnson is going to college, Howard Johnson's son Glen, a 36th-round Mets choice in last week's draft, is planning on attending the University of Jacksonville instead of turning pro. Glen Johnson is a switch-hitting shortstop

Norberto Navarro signed ""It was quick. It all came real quick, " Navarro said. "But I like the way it happened. The scout called me and asked if I was excited after I had been picked, and then told me I needed to be at his house the next day to sign."

Navarro didn't want to disclose any details of what he signed for, but said the Mets included college costs should he return to school one day."

Parker has signed and his on his way to Florida:

"For Michael Parker, the hits keep on coming.

"Just weeks after earning a third-team All-America nod from Louisville Slugger, Parker landed with the Mets as the 753rd overall pick after batting .373 with 60 RBI, 22 doubles and 10 home runs. Those numbers ranked in the league's top-five in seven separate offensive categories while leading the team in slugging percentage (.604), on-base percentage (.434) and hits (84) to win GW's 2007 team MVP.

"After waiting three weeks since the end of his college season, Parker, who last summer played two games with the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod League before finishing the season with the Mankato (Minn.) Moondogs of the Northwoods League, finally will get back in the action as he leaves for the Mets' spring training complex in Port St. Lucie, Fla. today after signing a pro contract yesterday."
