New York Mets: Five Bold Predictions For 2016 Spring Training

2. Conforto Will Assume No. 3 In Lineup

Michael Conforto will be hitting in third in the lineup by the end of spring training; David Wright, 6th.

Conforto followed up his extremely promising first half-season in the bigs by jacking two homers in the World Series. The neophyte is poised to repeat his success – and then some – over the course of a full season.

What’s most impressive about Conforto was his ability to spread the ball to all fields consistently. The Captain on the other hand? After missing all but 38 games in 2015, his spinal stenosis has not gone away, it’s now a matter of managing the condition correctly to keep Wright off the DL.

At this point, one can only hope Cap strings together 130+ games played, and light’s up Citi Field like he did Shea way back when.
