With the devastating news that Lyin’ Todd Frazier had to travel to New York to see the King Of Kortisone (sad) I don’t know where the Mets go from here.
If Jeff McNeil, who has only played 1345 innings in the minors at third is pressed into service to cover for Todd and jeff Lowrie, how will the Mets survive?
Can the Mets afford to roll McNeil and his 2018 .329 average and .852 OPS out there ever day? Will that make up for Todd’s special Salt & Pepper attitude that inflates his .213 and his .693 OPS (you millennials like OPS, this post os for YOU bro.)
I don’t think so.
If the Mets do play McNeil, their third choice at third as their choice at third….read that slowly it makes sense….then they don’t have a backup LFer!
Oh shoot wait….Todd Frazier was the starting FIRST baseman? Who the hell put this team together. It’s as if when the rest of the league was getting younger, we had some maniac come in and sign all his ex-clients….and now two ex-clients are hurt and we realize what I have been saying all winter which is THIS TEAM HAS NO DEPTH.
Ok well at 1B there’s a better chance of the Mets playing shorthanded than accelerating Alonso’s contract….so Dom The Alarm Smith it is….the OF can not have any days off all summer, sorry guys – I mean look at the depth chart, the LF and the RF are each other’s backups…that’s not how it works…and NONE of us want to see Keon Braxton…so Conforto, Nimmo and Lagares…you three are playing 162×9. And Lagares isn’t that good in case you forgot or still think it’s 2014 when he passed for good.
I believe I may have digressed and this post became about exposing the general manager…let’s get back to this Frazier injury. HOW WILL THE METS SURVIVE without him? Are you really going to start a guy who hit .329 last year? That’s nutty. Hopefully Lyin’ Todd will be back to trick umpires soon. Get well soon bromance.
Anyway, I will stop asking questions. Did you see Mike Piazza was in camp today and is OK with the Mets retiring #5. Now that’s big news.
