Its insane the Mets have another day off today with bad weather forecasted for Tuesday...I guess par for the course at this point.
Gimenez/Lindor watch
I was in the minority of people not liking trading Gimenez as he looked like an elite glove/baserunner in the short time we saw him and he hit a little too. Hopefully this is a really bad take in a few months but I wouldnt be surprised if he put up similar value for a fraction of the cost even if (and mostly likely) Lindor plays better. Lindor always felt more like a statement than a sound logical baseball decision but I also havent seen Carrasco pitch.
Oh of course. I'm obviously not being 100% rational. I have a special place for homegrown talent and its part of what I love about this current team. It was hard seeing Gimenez go after what looked like a nice breakout in his limited time last year. I do think he is pretty underrated by many. Hopefully we see Lindor & McNeil break out of their awful starts soon.

Gimenez:
$600k
38 PA
0.6 bWAR
.797 OPS (.235/.297/.500)
122 OPS+
Lindor:
$23million
48 PA
0.1 bWAR
.557 OPS (.189/.340/.216)
62 OPS+
I hear what you're saying, but I think we need to give it more time to see how the numbers turn out before we begin comparing the two.
