From Complex To Queens, Episode 216: 2023 Predictions! Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, our Home Run Applesauce podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.

In honor of the Pimp My Ride PSP that came out on this date in 2007, Steve, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas Promote, Extend, or Trade pimped cars from the MTV hit show.

After, the team gives updates on their Way-Too-Early-Draft-Special player follows.

Following that, they review the first few games of the 2023 season.

Lastly, the guys give three mild, medium, and bold predictions for the upcoming 2023 season. Steve thinks that Kevin Kendall will be a Mets top 25 prospect in 2024, Blade Tidwell will be a national top 50 prospect, and Layonel Ovalles will pitch his way into the Mets top 10. Lukas thinks that Dylan Tebrake moves quickly and pitches in Double-A in 2024, Jett Williams becomes a national top 25 prospect, and Jacob Reimer becomes a national top 100 prospect. Ken thinks that Brett Baty will hit 10 home runs in the MLB in 2024, Kevin Parada becomes the consensus best catcher in the minors, and Blade Tidwell pitches in the big leagues. Thomas thinks that the Mets will have two top five players in the 2023 National League Rookie of the Year votes, Francisco Alvarez will not get a single at-bat in the majors, and the Mets will have 5 players who are considered national top 100 prospects for 2024.

A Pod of Their Own, Episode 156: Developmental Objectives Mar 28, 2023

Show notes

This week, we begin by discussing the Mets’ final decisions for the Opening Day roster, including the surprising choice to roster neither Brett Baty nor Darin Ruf, but Tim Locastro instead. We also talk about Billy Eppler’s word salad quote that he gave as a justification for sending Baty to the minor leagues.

In our baseball segment this week, we cover Mike Elias’ justification (also word salad) for not rostering Grayson Rodriguez, the Braves’ City Connect jerseys, and the progress on Major League Baseball’s efforts to exempt minor leaguers from minimum wage laws in Florida.

Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.
