New York Mets: Michael Conforto, Backbone of the Outfield (and Lineup)

Even with the possibility of a universal designated hitter, the New York Mets still have several different outfielders they can plug in and out of the lineup. With constant change throughout, Michael Conforto has the be the one constant the Mets have in their outfield.

Conforto suffered a grade one oblique strain during spring training, and it was supposed to keep him out for part of April. The season delay plays in his favor since he can rehab the injury without the rush to get back on the field. After his shoulder injury in the 2017 season, he has played at least 150 games in the following two seasons.
