Mets lineup forcing slumping J.D. Davis into the cleanup spot
The New York Mets starting lineup for Saturday will include J.D. Davis batting cleanup yet again. Fans aren’t happy nor should they be.
Get well soon, Jeff McNeil! The ailing utility man is dealing with a knee issue, which as a result, has created another one for the New York Mets. On Saturday, J.D. Davis will start at third base in McNeil’s place.
This isn’t the problem. It’s the lineup Mickey Callaway submitted which has drawn ire from the fans. Instead of batting Davis near the bottom of the lineup where backup players with a career batting average of .189 may find themselves, Davis is batting cleanup yet again.
