I don’t know what the Mets are going to do in center field, but I am hoping one of the options isn’t to force feed Fernando Martinez at the position.
MARTINEZ: Likely to be force-fed CF with Beltran out.
Martinez, needs a healthy, uninterrupted season at Triple-A to get a better feel for his progress. We’ve heard a lot about his potential, but he’s been sidetracked by injuries. While with the Mets, he’s shown flashes but nothing warranting a full season in the majors.
But, I don’t think that will happen. He’ll probably be up here.
As much as I wanted them to go after Rick Ankiel – and I know of the opposition of that on this blog – it’s a long shot at best.
They’re likely to get a role player to share time with Angel Pagan, and, of course, Martinez.
