New York Mets: Five Bold Predictions For 2016 Spring Training

1. Duda Will Lead Grapefruit In HR

Lucas Duda will lead Florida’s Grapefruit League in home runs and set himself up for a career season.

Hear me out. Duda is a guy the Mets can rely on for 30+ bombs from this point forward. How so, you ask? Because, if he doesn’t hit ’em, I’m telling him to hit the road.

With prospect Dominic Smith breathing down his back (and getting an opportunity to prove himself this time around), its time for Duda to start knocking baseballs into the newly named Coca-Cola Corner with more consistency (RIP Pepsi Porch).

We can use a couple more multi-home run games from Duda like his domination of the Nationals on August 1st last year:

Jeremy Fialkow was born and raised in Miami, FLA, but currently studies at the University of Maryland. When he's not studying hard, he can be found supporting his sometimes hopeless NY teams: Knicks, Mets, Jets, and Isles. Your sympathy is appreciated.
