I have been of the opinion that he could develop into a Carlos Gomez type player. His contact through age 30 is very reasonable for a gold glove CF. He should be easily tradeable if Nimmo proves superior. Nimmo is quite young too so it is hard to know how good he can be.

It's a new day. Did anyone expect him to acquire pricey rentals like Cespedes, Uribe or Clippard? And Cespedes may not know what his true market value is until after the 5 day window. Sandy needs to figure out what will make his offer attractive enough to forego the FA market. Maybe an opt-out clause after 2 years would do it.

Also found this site that has all of Gavin's errors, http://www.astrometsmind.com/2015/06/on-gavin-cecchinis-errors.html<br /><br />A good majority in my opinion seem him just airmailing throws and in my opinion seem to be mechanical mistakes he could fix with experience. Also a few with a better 1st baseman over there would be able to easily scoop. Not like i'm a scout or anything but just from these few videos he looks to have pretty decent range and a good enough arm that it can play as average out there. Just my opinion, would be a shame if the glove holds the kid back from staying at short.

But I think it's possible both of them, Nimmo and Lagares, are better than 4th OFs.

I would hope, with Cuddyer returning, he would consider being shut down early (it's his decision).

I've never been enamored with his offense and would prefer more well-rounded players. I'd like to see the team find a way to get out from under that contract. I'm hoping Nimmo can take over at some point to relieve the last year of Granderson's money. With what we have coming off the books plus Cuddyer, Lagares, and Granderson we need to start trying to extend these pitchers.Michael S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10592189867244144200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-35432004280225818062015-08-08T13:40:55.851-04:002015-08-08T13:40:55.851-04:00Can't talk 2016 OF without mentioning the myst...Can't talk 2016 OF without mentioning the mystery man known as Lagares.<br />Why the heck did Mets choose lagares as the one young player to extend so soon???<br />I ASSUME they knew about his elbow issues. You know, the kinda stuff that kept them from trading wheeler a long time ago.<br />And it can't be because of any kind of media/fan pressure following the gold glove.
