Part 4/7:
Question Marks: Center Field and Second Base
Despite their recent successes, questions linger regarding the roster's depth, particularly in the center field and second base positions. As the Mets strive to maintain a championship caliber, they will need to address these areas. Internal options for filling these roles include promising prospects like Jet Williams, who could emerge as a critical player in the lineup, and other established players whose performances will dictate their future roles.
Brett Batty’s development and Jeff McNeil’s veteran presence present intriguing dynamics as the team looks to solidify its depth chart. The Mets' ability to navigate internal development could negate the need for external trades as the season progresses.
