Mark Twain famously once said, "There's lies, damned lies, and then there's statistics."

Let's get excited for a New Year and some New Hope! So let's trim our Keith's mustache, get out Gary's wig, and say "Aloha" for Ron as we get set for another great year of Mets baseball!

This is my third and final pre-combine mock draft, and I'm going to work under the same rules I've used before: no assumed trades, despite how badly some teams want to move up/down.
