New York Mets: Dom Smith is improving in left field

Error 0:

The New York Mets have, for what it seems like the first time in a while, some depth at the major league level. Almost every position has a relevant, capable backup, and the bench has some pieces that have been effective everyday players in the past. Right now, for example, Yoenis Cespedes and Jed Lowrie don’t project as regulars.

One of those valuable bench pieces is Dominic Smith. A Mets prospect that ascended through the ranks at a very young age, Smith is now a legit major leaguer at 24 years old. He has enormous value to the team, being so young, talented, and with five additional seasons of team control.
