There is a poster at Maimonides Park in Brooklyn that is a contemporary take on a family's penciled hash marks on the kitchen door frame. The to-scale display asks how "you" measure up to Jett Williams, the Mets' highest ranked prospect (#51 on the MLB Top 100 list), who stands 5'-7".

Among the Mets' "Top 30" prospects, Drew Gilbert, (#10) is the next shortest and Eli Serrano III (6'-5", #22) stands tallest. But as Jose Altuve taught so many people, it's about ability not stature. Starting last Saturday, I took limited measure of the organization's prospects, and other systems' as well.
