I think now that he saw how good he can be with it, it'll be hard to accept less

Do the Mets really have a lot of positionless guys? Overlap and holes, yes, but almost everyone except JD Davis can play the field somewhere adequately.

Yeha maybe I misspoke

The Mets have too many hitters who have to play out of position to squeeze their bats into the lineup

Dom Smith, Brandon Nimmo, etc.

Cano's suspension eased the pressure by giving McNeil an everyday spot

3:40

But it's just a tricky juggling act

One last questoin, and then we're calling it a day

What do you think of the Royals this year? Seems like a .500 team on the way up to me

Ben Clemens

3:41

I'm with you on the trajectory, a little lower on where they'll come in this year

I would say that this is a team that needs a few young players to make leaps

They've set themselves up in such a way that if two of their good young players hit the development jackpot, they're incredibly intriguing

3:42

If Franchy turns into an All Star and Bubic or Singer shoves, heck yeah!

Morbo

Remember you need to take a few wins off the Royals projections for Matheny's managerial mistakes

Ben Clemens

3:42

I said only one more question but this frustrated Cardinals fan attitude speaks to ome

I have developed SEVERAL stats I've wanted to call Matheny's

3:43

My favorite being a pitcher batting for himself and then not lasting the next inning

Luckily, that's a tricky one in the AL

That said, I would be concerned about his past issues handling young players

3:44

Not that the Royals have enough veterans to block youngsters, but it's a worry if they start improving

On that note, I'm off

I'm still getting my chatting reps in to get back up to game speed

Have a great day everyone, and I'll talk to you next week
