Yeah, just saw this. I know that every team's fans tend to overvalue their own talent, but although all of these Mets prospects are rated as top 10, but it really seems like the Red Sox and Yankee offers were far better, particularly considering the lack of major league experience of the Mets prospects.
As a Sox fan, I'm glad he didn't go to another AL team (read: Yankees), but in the wussy NL, he could be the first pitcher to have an ERA of 0.00 for an entire season.
Humber, a 25-year-old right-hander, has made one start and four relief appearances for the Mets during the past two years, and went 11-9 with a 4.27 ERA last season for Triple-A New Orleans. The 22-year-old Gomez batted .232 in 125 at-bats with New York last year and .275 with 19 steals in the minors.
Guerra, who turns 19 in April, was 2-6 with a 4.01 ERA at Class A St. Lucie, and Mulvey, who will be 23 in May, was 12-10 with a 3.20 ERA in 26 starts at Double-A Binghamton and one at New Orleans.
