I’m going to post a few ‘just missed outs’ from the Top 60 list. In part because there wasn’t all that much difference from about number 45 to number 80 or so. In part because I like to remember some of these guys. And it makes for good off-day content. These are in no particular order.
Robert Casey Janssen | RP | 2006 - 2014
Casey Janssen was born September 17, 1981 in Orange, California.
Casey was a 4th round draft pick in the 2003 draft, out of the University of California, back in J.P. Ricciardi’s time. David Purcey was our first-round pick that year. The Jays also picked Zach Jackson, Curtis Thigpen, and Adam Lind were also picked before Casey.

The Mets split a doubleheader with the Rockies yesterday in Denver. Jacob deGrom finally got a win in Game 1, as the Mets rallied late for a come-from-behind 4-3 victory thanks to key hits from Jonathan Villar and Francisco Lindor. deGrom chased history in the outing, striking out nine Rockies in a row at one point, tying his career high and coming just one short of the major league record set by Tom Seaver. He struck out 14 batters in total and all three of his runs were unearned, lowering his season ERA to 0.45. Edwin Díaz struck out all three batters he faced in the seventh to protect the lead and close it out for the Mets.
