It seems like they really traded up on that one.

How did they land Herrera? He was going to be the Mets 2nd baseman of the future.

It is a little odd that he isn't on any top 100 prospect lists though.

I guess he isn't really considered a prospect anymore?

Either way, he seems to have the physical tools to be a very good ball player (as opposed to what Nimmo appeared to be, which was a 4th or 5th outfielder.)
