What's in Store for Twenty-Four?: Zack Short

Currently hanging on to the back end of the Mets roster, I'm the infield reserve that might provide some offensive utility, if I get the right matchups, while Joey Wendle is the infield reserve that should be at least be reliable for defensive lift. Also, I sometimes wear my position on my back.

Mights and shoulds are what you get when you assemble your benchies, but while Wendle's glove hasn't come out to play yet — hey! — at least I'm one-for-three in my first handful of action in the team's first nine games.

Extrapolating that over a season can be fun, but extrapolations of small data sets can be WILDLY inaccurate. (Most fans haven't yet figured out if I'm a Zack or a Zach.) Your job is to sort through the nuances and contingencies and come up with a real-life scenario of how my season is going to play out.

I know you can do it.

I used to think Al Moran had the worst swing of any Met, until I saw Short.
He is Al Moran with a little bit of power, what we used to call the consummate futility infielder.
When Martinez is brought up to the majors, Short's career will be just that, short.
Since he has a career .179 BA, extrapolation tells me that will be before he gets his next hit.
Later

His time with the Mets will be his last name.

.221 in 68 ABs.
