No, the Mets Do Not Have a Good Designated Hitter Situation. Comparing the
projected wRC+ of the Mets hitters to the average wRC+ of the AL’s DHs last
year FanGraphs notes “Pete Alonso,
Michael
Conforto and Jeff McNeil
would all make fine DHs while Brandon
Nimmo, Yoenis
Céspedes, and J.D. Davis
would all be decent to average. Everybody else would be bad.”
SNY.TV:
Gary Cohen says “The Mets have multiple options for using the DH to their
advantage, starting with Yoenis Cespedes...J.D. Davis, Dominic
Smith and Robinson Cano all profile as possible candidates in a DH
rotation.
