Joe DeMayo SNY.TV: What to expect from Mets prospect Drew Gilbert in 2024. "Gilbert hit the ground running almost immediately upon joining Double-A Binghamton. In 35 games, he slashed .325/.423/.561 (.984 OPS) with six home runs and 21 RBI while playing all three outfield positions...Gilbert took on a leadership role defensively almost immediately, helping position the other two outfielders throughout games...At 23 years old and having shown success in Double-A, I fully expect Gilbert to begin the season with Triple-A Syracuse with the opportunity to potentially get a look at the big league level in the first half of 2024."
Mets YouTube Channel: 12 Pitching Prospects of Christmas The Future of Flushing Podcast does a great job looking at the "12 Pitching Prospects of Christmas": Mike Vasil, Christian Scott, Dom Hamel, Blade Tidwell, Tyler Stuart, Luis Moreno, Joander Suarez, Daniel Juarez, Nate Lavender, Nolan Clenney, Paul Gervase, and Trey McLoughlin plus Jordan Geber.

Cooperstown Cred:
- David Wright: Cooperstown Cred for Mr. Met Chris Bodig does a great job looking at David Wright's career and comparing his stats to Hall of Famers and other Hall of Fame candidates. While he doesn't think David will get in due to the length of his career he says: "My great hope, however, is that there are enough BBWAA members who check his name that he remains on the ballot for several more years; a player needs to get at least 5% of the vote to remain on future ballots. He was a Hall-worthy player when he was healthy."
