I'm Luis Guillorme, and I'm the number-two guy (at least for now) at three infield positions. My sweet and soft hands may not get me into the lineup every day, but apart from my shiny ballhandling on defense, I've been able to generate some offensive utility out of them as well, which at least is more than Rey Ordóñez could say (until he left the Mets).
I'm not dumping on Rey here, I'm just telling my story. And seeing me get more playing time in spring can make a person wonder exactly what I can do with more regular playing time. For it was in spring that I hit that mammoth homerun to center. It was in spring that I made a plate appearance last all day. It was in spring that I plucked a flying bat out of the air as it tomahawked toward my teammates.
I'm like the springVP, but when we talk about Twenty-Three Skiddoo, we're mostly talking about summer, and how I fit into the Mets' summer plans remains to be seen. And how I respond to whatever time I get is what we're here to talk about.
So start talking. I've got some balls to juggle. And some facial hair to grow.
