Last year I said Michael Conforto would be the Mets key player, meaning the team’s fortunes would rise and fall with his. Well, I was wrong — Conforto struggled and had to be sent to the minors, yet the Mets still made it to the postseason. Hoping to reverse this one-year losing streak, I am predicting that Jose Reyes will be the key this season.
Now I know what you’re saying — how can a guy who isn’t even a starter be the key to a season?
