ESPN Chat with BA's Jim Callis:

Mark (Villanova): Why is Parnell being rumored to be in the untouchable category?

SportsNation Jim Callis: Because the Mets overvalue their prospects? A lot of teams do that, though.

Mike (NYC): Hey Jim. Any chance you can give me a report on Mets 15th round pick James Bruno. Stories in NY say he worked out at Shea and hit 2 balls off the scoreboard and impressed Mets brass a lot yet is not signed yet. Will he be a Met or do you see him headed to Tulane?

SportsNation Jim Callis: He's a big power hitter, but the Mets have been strangely conservative in the draft with their cash. Not sure they'll pay what it takes.

Mike (NYC): Brad Holt or Jon Niese?

SportsNation Jim Callis: Niese, easy.

Jay(NY): Carlos Gomez or Fernando Martinez?

SportsNation Jim Callis: Martinez.
