Earlier tonight in the MLB 1st year player draft, the Mets selected Matt Harvey of UNC with the 7th overall selection. Early reviews are that this is a solid pick, for the Mets. For further information regarding this pick, please check out Long Live Shea Stadium Blog here . Metsblog.com also has a good write up here .
The MLB draft and prospects are not as well known as NFL or even NBA prospects because the lack of popularity and television distribution of college baseball. At this point, we can only rely on what the 'experts' tell us and hope Mr. Harvey develops into the type of pitcher worth the #7 pick overall. I'm not surprised the Mets went pitching here instead of position player. With Citi Field, the Mets should be focusing on pitching and defense.
