How Did #MetsTwitter React To The Mets Draft Selection?
On Monday, the Mets selected OF Jarred Kelenic with the sixth overall pick in the MLB draft. Time will tell if it was the correct pick to make, but that won’t stop fans from speculating and giving their two cents. And who better to lead the charge of fan analysis than our very own #MetsTwitter.
So how did our beloved #MetsTwitter community take in Mr. Kelenic? Just as you’d expect. With open arms and salty rhetoric:
Some were welcoming...
Welcome to NY Jarred Kelenic! #MLBDraft #Mets

Sort of...
Some had jokes....RIP to Jarred Kelenic’s career. And welcome to the Mets!#MetsTwitter #MLBDraft

@EvanRobertsWFAN I hear the Mets have already placed Jarred Kelenic on the 60 day DL

He probably just assumes the @Mets are the Triple A affiliate for the Yankees and he gets to start in Triple A. Definitely has some truth to it if that’s the case. #mets #MetsTwitter

But most were as you’d expect....#mets draft pick Jarred Kelenic sprained his wrist answering the call from the team and has been placed on the DL

Dear Jarred Kelenic,
— Estee (@EsteeFIMFic) June 5, 2018
I'd like to apologize in advance for your multiple injuries & media reaming, the stupid phone calls about you to WFAN, the trade demands, & all the other horrible things which will now happen to what would have once been your career.
Sincerely,
The Mets
Nobody’s life has been ruined more today than Jarred Kelenic. Sorry man. #mets

The truth is, not one single fan or analyst knows how Jarred Kelenic is going to perform. But always leave it to #MetsTwitter to keep it entertaining and cynical. Whether Kelenic pans out or not, one thing is always certain: #MetsTwitter will always be out there, takin’ er easy for all us sinners.RIP Jarred Kelenic’s possible successful future career. June 4th , 2018 #Mets

This isn't the Bronx. Don't do this, Mets fans.
Listen, I too was an idiot from time to time. Have one or two extra beers and do some dumb shit I probably shouldn't have. Last season we were the Team Of Fun. Let's be that. Certainly not this.
