PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (CBSNewYork/AP) — In a Mets’ clubhouse where Spanish words flow freely, a two-word description of Amed Rosario might be the best in any language.
El Futuro.
You don’t have to be a slick-fielding, multi-skilled, young talent from the Dominican Republic to understand the meaning of that — The Future. Rosario, in his first big league camp, is hitting .296 and showing the flashy defensive skills and fleet feet that have the shortstop ranked as the organization’s top prospect.
“He’s got to go play. He’s shown me everything that needs to be shown,” Mets manager Terry Collins said.
