New York Mets Selected Contracts Prior to 2013 Rule 5 Draft

The New York Mets selected the contracts of Steven Matz from Class A Savannah, Jeff Walters and Erik Goeddel from Double A Binghamton and Jacob deGrom from Triple A Las Vegas and placed them on the Mets 40 man roster. The move was made to protect the players from the upcoming Rule 5 draft on December 12. It is interesting to see which players an organization values as it moves the draft eligible players under the protective roster umbrella.

RHP Walters pitched in 2013 at Binghamton. He was 4-3, 2.09 ERA, 60 K, 1.11 WHIP, 38 SV in 56.0 IP over 53 games. He was originally drafted by the Mets in the seventh round in 2010. Walters turned 26 on November 6th.

RHP Goeddel pitched in 2013 at Binghamton. He was 9-7, 4.37 ERA, 125 K, 1.44 WHIP in 134.0 IP over 25 games. He was originally drafted by the Mets in the 24th round in 2010. Goeddel will be 25 on December 20.

RHP deGrom split 2013 between Class A Advanced St Lucie, Binghamton and Triple A Las Vegas. He was 1-0, 3.00 ERA, 13 K, 1.17 WHIP in 12.0 IP over 2 games at St Lucie, was 2-5, 4.80 ERA, 44 K, 1.48 WHIP in 60.0 IP over 10 games at Binghamton and was 4-2, 4.52 ERA, 63 K, 1.47 WHIP in 75.2 IP over 14 games at Las Vegas. He was originally drafted by the Mets in the ninth round in 2010. deGrom turned 25 on June 19.
