Left Field: Michael Conforto vs Alex Gordon

With the Royals starters coming in the form of all righties, I assume Conforto will start every game at left field, unless if Terry Collins decides to put Yoenis Cespedes there and put Juan Lagares at center. But for now, I’ll stick with Conforto, who’s had a stellar rookie year with the bat and the glove. He will only get better and will look to make more of an impact as he gets more playing time in the W.S.

Gordon has been a three-time MLB All-Star and is still a solid hitter with pop. Conforto could be a future All-Star, but for now, the veteran Gordon is already a proven commodity.

Edge: Royals

Other than God, sports are my biggest love. My teams are the Mets, Knicks, NY Giants, NY Rangers and St Johns basketball (St. John's alumni). I especially love the Mets like crazy, more than any other team and seeing them win the World Series would be a dream come true and definitely the best sports moment. The Knicks are a close second. I also like to write, so combine that with my passion for sports equals a perfect scenario, I would love to do sports writing long term. If not that, then probably sports broadcasting, cause I love to talk sports as well. In addition to writing for ESNY, I'm also currently writing for Metsmerizedonline.
