New York Mets: Five Bold Predictions For 2016 Spring Training

3. Plawecki Will Prove Himself

What’s the deal with our catcher? Everyone knows Travis D’arnaud has the capability of being a great catcher, but can he stay healthy? His defense behind the plate leaves much to be desired.

Yet, it’s hard to argue Kevin Plawecki and his .219 average should take his place. They are both talented, and yet the Mets will be testing the two in different positions during spring training.

In the end, I think Plawecki will prove his worth behind the plate and with his bat during spring training, and set himself up to usurp D’arnaud’s role come regular season.
