People
are telling me that the Scott Hairston injury can easily prevent him from
heading to Queens in April. Hairston is your right-handed backup outfielder,
plus the only player currently on the 25-man that legitimately can backup
Andres Torres in centerfield.
There’s
not many options ( and don’t get hung up by these stats because there are so
few at-bats right now):
RHH Juan Lagares – (.000/.000/.000/.000) – The Mets need
to play this guy in center during the spring to see if he has the range.
RHH Vinny Rotinno – (000/.000/.000/.000) – definitely not
a center fielder (and we have already learned this short ST season that
he has limitations at third).
LHH Kirk Nieuwenhuis – .250/.250/.250/.500 – The Captain
may bat left, but he’s the only possible centerfield replacement if Torres went
down (it’s just too early to consider Matt den Dekker).
RHH Josh Satin – (.600/.600/.600/1.200) – this is the bat the
Mets need, but he’s never played a game in center.
RHH Cesar Puello – (.500/.500/.500/1.0000 -played some
center today in a split schedule game.
Summation: Too early to call.
