The scene: Noah Syndergaard’s first bullpen with the Mets
Top prospect Noah Syndergaard made his debut on Tradition Field’s back mounds Sunday, throwing his first bullpen session since the Mets traded R.A. Dickey to acquire him in a seven-player megadeal.
His parents, not surprisingly two of his biggest fans, were on hand to watch.

MLB.com Top 100 Prospects: Mets score high
MLB.com unveiled its Top 100 prospects list tonight, and the Mets did quite, quite well for themselves. Catcher Travis d’Arnaud clocked in at sixth overall, while right-handed pitchers Zack Wheeler and Noah Syndergaard ranked ninth and 29th, respectively.
The Mets were the only team in baseball to land two prospects in the Top 10.
I caught up with d’Arnaud and Wheeler earlier today to discuss the rankings and their thoughts on Spring Training; you can check that out here. You can also see MLB.com’s full Top 100 here.

Updated top 10 prospects list, via Baseball Prospectus
How did the R.A. Dickey trade affect the Mets’ farm system? Baseball Prospectus today offered this new top 10 prospects list:
1. Zack Wheeler, RHP
2. Travis d’Arnaud, C
3. Noah Syndergaard, RHP
4. Michael Fulmer, RHP
5. Wilmer Flores, INF
6. Gavin Cecchini, SS
7. Domingo Tapia, RHP
8. Jeurys Familia, RHP
9. Brandon Nimmo, OF
10. Rafael Montero, RHP
Obviously there is some difference in opinion here from last week’s Baseball America list, which was published before the Dickey trade, and ranked Fulmer seventh and Luis Mateo fourth. But the industry consensus seems to be that d’Arnaud and Syndergaard are now the Mets’ clear second- and third-best prospects behind Wheeler.
On d’Arnaud, Baseball Prospectus called him “ready for prime-time” and described him as a “.275-plus batting average” guy with “17-25 HR power potential.”
On Syndergaard, BP wrote that his ceiling is as a “high-end no. 2 starter” and that “he could be a monster.”

…And what about Noah Syndergaard?
A new day brings new names. The R.A. Dickey deal currently on the table, according to the New York Post, would net the Mets right-handed pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard, in addition to catchers Travis d’Arnaud and John Buck and another as-yet unnamed prospect. The Mets would give up Dickey, Josh Thole and a non-elite prospect.
So let’s take a look at Syndergaard, as we did yesterday for d’Arnaud. Again, click to launch the 2012 MLB.com Prospect Watch page:
