Where Mets rank in 2023

I had to look it up to confirm but he McNeil actually played more in both left and right field in 2019 than he did at second.

As noted elsewhere, I'm kind of rooting for him to take over at third, with Batientos starting 2024 primarily at DH, but we'll see.

Interesting. I'd have to think left field is wide open too.



My preference has always been for the Mets to fill a championship caliber starting lineup without even considering a position for McNeil. And then deploy him as needed around the diamond as the situations call for it.

I suspect that McNeil will play more games in the outfield than the infield in 2024, unless Baty falters.
