a.Brett Baty wins the starting second baseman for the Mets. What are your thoughts on him this season? He had a great spring.
i.Luis Ángel Acuña made the Mets as a super-utility player. Any interest?
b.With Zack Gelof undergoing hamate surgery, Max Muncy (the other one) appears to have secured the second base job. Any interest?
