Albert Almora hasn’t done much for the New York Mets this year. Other than provide them with some late-inning defense, he has been atrocious. In his first 19 trips to the plate, the 27-year-old outfielder has only a single and a walk with a whole lot of outs including seven on strikes.

Signed this winter as the team’s fifth outfielder, it’s beginning to look like he may end up like yet another failed addition to the center field mix.
