DeGrom. Scherzer. Probably. It's only 179 days away.

Is it too early to tailgate?

I miss baseball already.

I'm not so thrilled with the 5 through 8 positions in that lineup.

But I expect that there will be a few more changes in the next 111 days.

Is d'Arnaud hurt again already?

If we had to go to war today, I'd play McNeil at 3B and let Frazier and Smith platoon 1B until Alonso is ready.

There's doubt he'll be ready to go by OD, recovering from Tommy John

Didn't realize the time table, assumed the $4 milliion payday meant good to go.

It's disappointing that Bryce Harper isn't in either lineup.

Even if he is, it's not like his incumbency was secure when he went down.

Making the $4 million payday even more of a head-scratcher.

Nimmo
McNeil (3b)
Cano
Conforto
Frazier (1b)
Lagares
Plawecki
deGrom
Rosario

I wish we could break up the LHs and the RHs, but the RHs suck, and you don't want to give them more ABs. and Rosario shouldn't bat lead-off until he gets his OB% at least up to .300!
I think they're going to sign Grandal, which should help. And when Alonzo comes up and Cespedes comes back, it could look more like this after the all-star break:

Nimmo
McNeil
Cano
Cespedes
Conforto
Grandal
Alonzo
P-
Rosario

With our pitching, this is a competitive lineup.

Re: IGT 3/28/2019: NYM @ WAS -- Clean Slate

Yeah, I went with my best inference of the lineup that Callaway wants. And last I checked, he wanted Rosario in the leadoff spot. I'm sure we'll know more as the winter develops.

(Funny that the Mets had three main leadoff hitters last year, each lasting almost exactly 1/3 of the season. Conforto was the leadoff hitter in April and May. Nimmo was the leadoff hitter in June and July. Rosario was the leadoff hitter in August and September.)

The Nats are still looking to upgrade at second base (Muffy to return?).

The Mets hope to add an outfielder.

Re: IGT 3/28/2019: NYM @ WAS -- Clean Slate

Doing his media rounds during the Winter Meetings, Callaway expressed a desire for Nimmo to lead off.
