Spoiler Alert: Michael Conforto isn’t going to make my starting 9 even though he’s clearly a really good Met, but he’s being unfairly punished for playing all three OF positions. I understand if you are furious at my list, and we could arguably make him the LFer.
But I am going with Cespedes. If you were around in August and September 2015 you had never seen anything like that. The man carried an entire franchise on his back and we got a surprise World Series out of it. His time in Queens had an awkward ending, but I am putting him in the lineup.
If you’re curious he was 5th in HRs for the decade, behind even Michael Conforto who is getting hosed by me in my little series here. Sorry Michael, you deserve better.
