After the Mets got a steal in Vanderbilt pitcher Kumar Rocker at No. 10 overall, who signed a $6 million signing bonus, they loaded up on more arms in rounds 2-10 on Monday.
Starting with right-hander Calvin Ziegler in the second round, the Amazins proceeded to draft six more pitchers, which put their total at eight hurlers in the first two days.
