Which positions do them damn Steamer forecasts present the most success from? Well, I tried to do the math, with some interpolation and induction and real Fields Medal stuff like that.
Takeaways:
[list][*]Steamy is real bearish on the viability of the Mets' catching situation, and sees all available candidates getting less PT than you might expect, and so leaves 18 starts behind the dish as a problem to be solved.
[*]2018 breakthrough dudes like Nimrod and McNelt are also grizzlies.
[*]The team remains kind of thin in the outfield, compared to the infield, and I ended up giving a chunk of McNally's PT to to right field. Who knows how that'll break, however. The notion is that the team will have to find 50 or more starts in the outfield, and they don't think Gregor Blanco is going to fill that role. They do see playing time for Rajai Davis, but of the utterly futile kind.
[*]Steamer thinks that Smith is an absolute load over at first base, but will still get plenty of time to prove just what a load he is. While more is expected of Alfonso, they don't exactly see him as a savior.[/list]
Wow, not a lot of that is good news! Bryce Harper might not be coming, but an outfielder of some stripe might be.
