And I debunked Wong as a "leadoff hitter". I personally love Nimmo, and if I were to give a crap about what Numfred has turned "baseball" into, I would hope the Mets keep him, but I'm trying to keep my feelings out of it.

To reiterate: Wong ain't no "leadoff hitter". Nimmo is only average (or below) as a "thumper". Depending on them to fill those roles seems a poor risk.

JMO.

ETA: I do see that Wong's .339 OBP was better than anybody in your 2022 lineup. (Riley Greene's .321 "led" the way. Yoicks.). But you should aim higher. There are probably 20 FAs with better on-base skills. And if you have Nimmo, putting Wong ahead of him would be very, very silly, IMO.

So…y'all had 9 Javy Baez wannabes in the lineup and didn't win? Gee, I'm shocked. (*giggles*)

ETAA: Lipcius for 3B, I'd say. And hit him leadoff, if you don't sign a vet with a proven skill. Keep Carpenter. Pray for Reyes/Torkelson/Greene to develop. Dump everyone else that you can.
