Last 10...Reese, what is going on with Dom Smith? <br /><br />Last 10 games, 7 for 34, 2 RBIs, 12 walks (good), 15 Ks (terrible). Depressed?<br /><br />I hear what you are saying about 3B, but I am starting to wonder if Alonso is our opening day 2019 first baseman. <br /><br />I'd actually be more interested in Smith playing 3rd, if either of them were to switch - I think Smith might be the more agile of the two.<br /><br />Remember earlier this spring, we wondered if Cecchini was bulked up this spring and we'd see more power? 7 doubles, NO homers so far in a huge hitters' league. That is not major league caliber stuff - my take is without more power, he seems nothing more than a fringe utility major leaguer at best.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-39367943217337727822018-04-23T13:12:08.257-04:002018-04-23T13:12:08.257-04:00Could the right handed Alonso be enticed into play...Could the right handed Alonso be enticed into playing 3B? After all, if his trajectory continues he's not due here until 2020 when, coincidentally, the contract expires on Todd Frazier. Then you would have room for both Dom Smith and Peter Alonso on a future Mets team. <br /><br />I know, I know...too much common sense.

He won't - he'll do much better! He already is, and the warm up is underway.<br /><br />I can't believe Belt's 21 pitch at bat did not come against Syndergaard. Every game, one or two guys seem to have really long ABs against him.<br /><br />Verlander was no doubt comforted when he returned home.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.com
