Coming Soon to Coney Island
Mets will restock Cyclones' roster during this week's MLB Draft
“With the 11th pick in the first round of the 2013 MLB Draft, the New York Mets select ….”
Those words will officially kick off the 2013 Brooklyn Cyclones’ season Thursday night as the parent-club Mets look to restock their Minor League system, including the roster of their Class A Short-Season franchise by the sea.
It was just three years ago that the Mets grabbed current staff ace Matt Harvey with the seventh overall pick out of the University of North Carolina. In 2011, the Amazins took a shot on a little-known outfielder from Wyoming named Brandon Nimmo, who turned out to be a Brooklyn folk hero last summer. In 2012, the Mets selected shortstop Gavin Cecchini with the 12th pick.
