Soothsaying for Sixteen: Wuilmer Becerra

[Edgy MD]

Something about a chin beard is mysterious. So mysterious that I didn't even get a thread until now, despite my name beginning with a B. I spent all of last season in St. Lucie, but I kicked serious assification in the Venezuelan Winter League, and I'm ready to punish people now in my age 21 season.

I probably will top out at AAA this season, but you might know better. I'll tell you this, sometime in 2017, I'll be sharing a homegrown New York outfield with Conforto and Lagares and Nimmo. And that'll be really cool. What else do you see?

Showing his appreciation to the Mets for moving him to leagues with hitters' ballparks, he will start to turn his reported 5 tools into production.
A combined .294/ .335/ .485 at Binghamton and similar numbers (maybe higher BA and SLG) when promoted to Las Vegas mid year.
My kid's on his way to the bigs, but probably not this year.

I predict he'll continue to be goofy looking.

No MLB in 2016.

Every once in a while I take a moment to pat myself on the back for being in favor of the Dickey trade from the very beginning.
