Mock Organization Diary #4 for the New York Mets, Minor League Ball Community Mock Draft 2012
In this MOD, we will discuss our preferred players for the Mets Round 2 picks, which are #71 and #75 overall. In the first round we are selecting the best player available, regardless of organizational needs. With the next three picks, the plan is to select two catchers, one high school and one college, both of whom project to stick behind the plate, and one pitcher, preferably a southpaw.
The previous MODs were:
MOD: Mets #1 (2012 Draft Approach)
MOD: Mets #2 (2012 Round 1 Pick)
MOD: Mets #3 (2012 Supplemental First Round Pick)
Some of the players who may be available at #71 and #75 include:

71 | Murphy, Tom | C | Buffalo | |
72 | Mooneyham, Brett | LHP | Stanford | |
