Center Field: Yoenis Cespedes vs Lorenzo Cain

Terrific matchup here. Maybe the best.

Both of them are perennial All-Stars and probably the two biggest bats in their respective lineups. We all know about Cespedes and the impact he’s made to the Mets lineup since coming here, adding lots of power to go along with a dash of speed.

Cain has also been big offensively over the last couple seasons, especially in the playoffs. Cain may not have the power like Cespedes, but he is one of the faster players in the game and his speed is a game changer as he showed in Game 6 ALCS when he scored the winning run from first to send KC to the Fall Classic.

Cespedes may be the better five-tool player, but the fact that Cain has been more consistent in October mixed in with the concern about Cespedes’s shoulder injury, makes this a more fair sided matchup.

Edge: Even

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.
