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

It’s our final episode prior to the draft, so naturally we faff about for 15 minutes before getting to the meat of the show. Our promote-extend-trade this week concerns our favorite Sci-fi movies of the last ten years. Conclusion? Arrival is at the top of our lists. And an additional plug from Lukas; check out Project Hail Mary from Andy Wier before the movie comes out next March.

On to baseball. Jesus Baez and Nick Morabito are cranking along; Boston Baro and Ronny Mauricio are not. We also cover some recent news on the IFA front, where the Mets continue to struggle; don’t fret too much though, by the time players signed by Stearns’ FO are putting pen to paper, things should look much better. It just might not be til 2028. And finally, we get to the draft. Predicting who the Mets select at 38 remains an exercise in futility, but BA’s latest mock matches the Mets with Tate Southisene. That would give the FCTQ crew yet another correctly predicted draft pick, even if our conviction in any prep bat we talk about pre-draft is very low.
