TH: Josh Thole hit a little and reached base a lot in the FSL and AFL.  My guess is that you’ll say that questions about his defensive ability prevented him from cracking the top 11.  True?

KG: and the fact that he just doesn’t have much juice in his swing.

KG: It’s hard to rank catchers with defensive issues.  They have to be good enough offensively to start, because it’s hard to find backups who aren’t defensively oriented.

TH: Important point.

KG: Yeah, every once in a while I make sense.

TH: I know you’ve only gone through 1/3 of the big league teams, but if you had to take a guess, where would the Mets system rank if you were ranking 1-30?

KG: My gut says somewhere in the middle, maybe a bit below because of depth issues.

TH: That sounds about right, from my myopic view of the baseball world.  Thanks a million for your time

KG: Anytime, and good to see you in Vegas.

TH: Yeah, you too.  Ok, I lied.  I have one more set of questions.  You got 5 more min?

KG: Yup

KG: For you the world, though you are delaying my video game time, as Aquanaut’s Holiday arrived today from Hong Kong.

TH: Oh, well then for your own good, I’ll keep you!

KG: My thumbs thank you.

TH: Dillon Gee.  Ceiling?  Mid range outcome?

KG: Ceiling? solid 4-5 at best, midrange; middle relief.

TH: Awesome.  Thanks again.

KG: You got it.
