It's nobody's favorite hot, sinewy dose of reality, but you can put all the biggest resources to bear in securing the services of the most gifted players, but whether you wind up with Babe Ruth or Joe Shiabotnik, the two of them will be worth exactly the same on the Injured List. So chase that shiny free agent, sure — and the Mets invested $765 million in chasing Juan Soto down — but the winning move is always depth, depth, depth. 

And then, maybe, you might want to add a little depth.

While Juan's role in left field will be covered by some combination of Brett Baty, Jared Young, and Tyrone Taylor — which will almost certainly mean more opportunities for Mark Vientos at first and DH — his spot on the roster goes to Ronny Mauricio.  It would be great to see delayed-launch opportunities be the key to Ronny establishing himself in the bigs, at it seemingly has been for Baty and Vientos, but right now, his role will seemingly be backing up at second, third, and short — and the guys there haven't been yielding any innings to anybody, so if this calf injury of Juan's is as quick to heal as we all hope it is, Ronny will likely have to make the most of very few opportunities.

Give 'em Hell, Ronny!
