Soothsaying for Sixteen: Gavin Cecchini

Edgy MD Mar 18 2016 05:08 AM

Yeah, the system may congested with shortops, but they just cut one loose, and I'm not far behind, with the road in front of me now blocked only by the injured Cabrera. And Flores. And Reynolds. And maybe Muno. And possibly a non-roster player or two. Baseball is tough. But I may be tougher. I'm Gavin Cecchini and I've gone from an all-field/no-hit prospect to a hits-pretty-good-if-he-can-hack-it-in-the-field guy. And you know what? Both those reports are WRONG. I'm going to break through this year. Wadda you think? [fimg=500:msjxnpgq]https://metsmlb.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/gavin-cecchini-photo-day-1.jpg[/fimg:msjxnpgq]

He is going to prove he belongs in the mix for a future full time job by positively raking at AAA. Then he'll be called up in September to play fairly regularly once the Mets have clinched the home field advantage in the playoffs (around Sept 12th). With Walker having one year left on his contract, and the uncertainty of Wright's health long term, lots of options will be explored. And Gavin's performance with be examined carefully. Once brought up he will continue to mash .285/ .365/ .425 and play shortstop better than many of the in-house candidates. Later

Begins in AAA, does goodish, gets some time when Cabrera's knee troubles him. Hits 250/300/360 over 30 games. Looks okay in the field.

Not as good as Tejada would have been.

Better than so-so in Vegas, traded in July.

That's a bold predicty. I figured Mr. Alderson has him penciled in as part of the puzzle longer-term.

Part of a BIG trade in July, ya can't keep everyone!

Eventual Rule 5 guy. I would be happy to be wrong.

Edgy MD Mar 24 2016 07:29 PM Re: Soothsaying for Sixteen: Gavin Cecchini

Well, he's already on the roster, so if he gets away, it's certainly unlikely to be as a Rule V draftee.

Years from now when he doesn't hit.
