Pete Alonso on pace for another 35-100 season with significantly improved Defense
Jorge Polanco might not have 35 hits this season. And certainly won’t have 35 RBIs.
Pete Alonso, who the #Mets thought couldn’t play defense, is 90th percentile in range, or outs above average. What changed? Not much. The Orioles just played him closer to the foul line and moved him a few steps over like I’ve been telling the Mets to do but David Stearns didn’t.
@wbonilla1@ZackScottSports It's clearly an issue and it shouldn't be. They should be able to absorb the back ends of contracts if they are trying to win.
Brett Baty, who's been inconsistently deployed in the outfield, made a defensive miscue that signals an organizational failure within the Mets. Because positional fluency is a necessity and defensive versatility is a luxury - not the other way around. https://t.co/QeusSNZtLf
@CookedByGrimace No. It’s the worst decision since trading Tom Seaver in 1977, which is rightfully still talked about. Stearns needs to wear the stink forever
@MetsJoe22 Exactly. We also didn't win with Vientos, Baty, Senga, Manea and several others who got to stay, but Alonso and Nimmo had to go because "we didn't win with them"
