NY Mets: Picking the starting 3rd baseman to lead the franchise can prove tricky

Not in article format, but here goes

If you think about it, 3 rookies (Mark Vientos, Brett Baty and Ronny Mauricio) are all solid options. However one must take the reign and lead the team as the hotspot defender, meaning two hopefuls will either be traded or, have to find another spot to fill.

Baty struggled offensively, Vientos too, I’m more team Mauricio although I think Baty although a rookie displayed big time leadership qualities when he shouldered the blame for a Buck Showalter mistake earlier in the year.

Yeah leadership is great, but the team needs both leadership on the field too.

Really could go either way tbh… I love this Mauricio kid because of the hype around him and his future looks real bright, but I’m still sort of unconvinced that either of these guys will be the next David Wright, ya know?

Those are big shoes to fill. I wouldn’t expect it of them nor am I asking for that right away, but, someones gotta eventually do that.

If David Wright didn’t get Spinal Stenosis he’d still be playing in the mlb

Ok, yeah, back in 2010 or earlier maybe 2008 I wrote a blog post back when I was in high school to trade him and Reyes. I’m standing ten toes deep in that because I smelled his slowing down sharply from a mile away…. Him and Reyes. Trade a fan favorite? You’ll hear the boos

Sadly, he slowed down fast, and you put the team first. Younger me knew this. Then older me got attached to fan favorites hence my complaints when Baez and others left, then todays present day me literally just would like to win a WS before I am 80 years old and forget everything, even how bad Chase Utley is of a human (I doubt I’ll ever forget that)

Well, what I’m attempting to get at here is, we could use a solid option at third base

Baty idk what’s in store for him

Vientos i can’t say I have much of an opinion on.

Mauricio? I respect him, didn’t he get a hit in his first MLB game?

I get the updates on my phone. I’m too busy to watch this week

All I’m saying is, one of these guys has to be chosen as the primary option.
