Luis Guillorme will be a crucial depth piece for the Mets this year

Last year, Luis Guillorme made the Opening Day roster for the first time in his professional career. It was a big accomplishment for the youngster, whose solid defense had long made up for offensive shortcomings.

With the roster expanding to 30 to kick things off, Guillorme will almost definitely find himself on the Opening Day roster for a second straight season, and he deserves the chance after what he showed last year. The 25-year-old is far from the flashiest homegrown player on the club, as I mentioned in my initial season for him back in March, but he brings infield versatility and a terrific glove that will both serve the team well, especially in a shortened season where the team will need to utilize every part of its roster to succeed.
