Fingers crossed that Nimmo can be acceptable in CF this year. I'll admit my biggest concern with the Mets this year is the defensive alignment of Nimmo in CF and Dom in LF. One or the other? Fine. But I am a bit worried about the combination. At the same time, there's not much choice without the DH. With a DH, they could've obviously brought in a better defensive centerfielder which would push Nimmo to LF and Dom/Alonso to split 1B/DH duties. But no way do they want to take any of those bats out of the lineup without a DH. And I was a little encouraged with Nimmo's recent comments about using analytics to position himself better in CF. Hopefully that helps. Then again, with the starting rotation the Mets have, maybe there won't be any balls hit to the outfield anyway 😂
Hoping he, JD & Dom have a chip on their shoulders and a commitment to improving at their respective positions this spring. With a little extra work and consistency in focusing on one position, all they have to be is passable and their bats will make them plus players.
More winning analysis. 🔥🔥🔥
