Mets Mailbag: On Jake Marisnick's role, if this 4-man rotation rivals 1986 and more

With the rest of spring training suspended and the start of the regular season pushed back, there's plenty of time to answer some Mets questions ...

Martin C. from Norwalk >> With all of the talk about the outfield and who will play if Michael Conforto is out for a while, I haven't seen much about Jake Marisnick. Is he still in the Mets' plan for this season?

Marisnick was not acquired in a trade this past winter to be an everyday player. I think -- all along -- he was slated to be a fill-in, defense replacement, fourth outfielder.
