Versatility is the name of the game with Jeff McNeil. The New York Mets super-utility man played all over the field in 2019, saving the team from having inferior lineups more often than not.

In 2020, the team may not have the same luxury. McNeil is penciled in as the team’s starting third baseman. He should see action at a few other spots, but when replacing him in the field, the team may lose some luster.

Fortunately, the team is ahead of the game in preparing for the season. As you’ll typically find in spring training camp, players are testing out new positions or familiar ones they didn’t succeed in the past.
