Fernando Martinez?

I’m not sure where he was ranked .. but he was definitely heavily hyped and the Mets beat out multiple teams to sign him

I know this is about... 678th on the list of things to complain about, but do the Mets EVER, EVER sign anyone in the top 5 on IFA lists?

Wasn't Gimenez #2 in some lists, or is my memory messing with me?

Alvarez was ranked #9 on some lists. What do the top 5 guys get in signing bonuses anyway? over 3? over 4?

Gimenez was ranked #15th by pipeline.

Also added 18year old catcher from Puerto Rico Jan Carlos Osorio. Not sure if this is part of IF period or not.

Quantity is good. Quality is better.

Wonder where some of theses guys are from?
Based on name value alone it seems we expanded our scope of scouting into new countries outside of Latin America...

I believe some article I read on our class stated the Mets actually went for quantity this year over quality, which was what they did previous years.

I would pay a flat rate to pitchers, then give them a $10K bonus for every inch over 6'0".
