Mets Trade Jon Matlack for David Wright

Posted on May 12, 2011 by Roland Agni

My SweetSpot friend ThePlatoonAdvantage has built an amazin’ tree connecting Jon Matlack to the drafting of David Wright.

On MetsMerizedOnline, there is a comprehensive analysis of the drafts overseen by Omar Minaya, Paul DePodesta, and J.P. Ricciardi over the past 10 years. And guess what? Omar comes out looking a lot better than you might guess.

Greg Prince would like the Mets to act like a New York team.

Kerel Cooper wonders if David Wright should bat fifth.

John Delcos posts memories of Hobie Landrith and Willie Mays.

Finally, Mike Steffanos compares 2005 to 2011 — and misses the optimism of 6 years ago.

    I’ve read on other Mets’ blogs that many fans are surprised at the quality of Minaya’s drafts – I’m not. His problem wasn’t amateur or international talent evaluation but rather extremely poor choices regarding free agency and trades. He’s a terrific scout but not that great in terms of macro business decisions.
