Yes, you read that right!! In 2010, the Mets drafted Matt Harvey with their top pick, although most "pundits" had them going for 3B/1B Zach Cox, whose bat was lauded as major-league-ready at the time. Harvey made his second start for the Mets last night, a far better start then the stat-line displays, while Cox, batting .254 with nine homers and 30 RBIs at Triple-A Memphis (Cards), was traded to the Marlins at the deadline for reliever Edward Mujica, a home-run prone 28 year old who has been featured on Showtime's "The Franchise" series. So, for anyone who was upset about that pick at the time (and there were a LOT of you, in spite of what you're saying now), perhaps you can mail your apologies to Omar, care of the San Diego Padres...for THIS pick, at least...
