As we approach the beginning of spring training, Opening Day doesn’t seem so far away anymore and we can realistically start to think about how the New York Mets lineup will be deployed on an everyday basis.
Over the past couple of years, we have seen many (maybe too many) different lineups from the inexperienced Mickey Callaway, who has gone back to his roots with his new pitching coach role with the Los Angeles Angels. He was a pitching coach in his past life with the Cleveland Indians and I guess he just kind of winged it when it came to writing the everyday lineup for the Mets position players in 2018 and 2019.
