Mets take Mississippi State righthander J.T. Ginn in second round of MLB Draft

Like last year, the Mets began Day Two of the MLB Draft on Thursday with a big, bold move, this time using their second-round pick on Mississippi State righthander J.T. Ginn, who was considered a potential first-round talent before he had Tommy John surgery in March.

They followed up by selecting Southern California high school centerfielder Isaiah Greene with the 69th pick _ which they received as compensation for losing Zack Wheeler in free agency _ and San Diego State shortstop Anthony Walters in the third round (91st overall).
