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

It’s cold out there, but in NYC and across every Met affiliate in the area - in other words, it’s a good time to be a St. Lucie Met. None of our guys-to-follow are off to particularly hot starts, but hopefully the performances will warm up as the weather does.

We also quickly run through the Mets’ affiliate rosters and some early season performances. Syracuse is very boring, as is a lot of Binghamton though there’s more to get excited about there (shoutout Dylan Tebrake, back after a year on the shelf due to injury). Things get really exciting in Brooklyn and St. Lucie though, with interesting talent top to bottom. And we’d be remiss if we didn’t gush about Matt Allan’s feel good return to the mound.

After the break, we blitz through an overview of this year’s top-25, an exercise normally reserved for the offseason but which we missed due to our hiatus. Both Thomas and Lukas have some divergent takes from the consensus, with all of Blade Tidwell, Eli Serrano, Chris Suero, and Ryan Lambert.
