Joe Benigno

Last year, he was terrible.

That's kind of the one outlier.

He's been...

more consistent over the last handful of years, but last year, 2024, was particularly awful.

But outside of that, he's a good ball player.

So I'm not going to knock it because it's a good move.

He's a solid ball player, switch hitter, athletic enough to pick up first base.

We'll see how he is at it, but you can DH him, do different things, and see what it means.

What does it mean for a...

Beatty, who the general manager talks about penciling in at third base.

What does it mean for Vientos?

What does it mean for Jeff McNeil?

You would imagine Jeff McNeil is going to be out the door.

But right now, it's hard to look at the Mets' plan.

Look at how the Mets are operating.

Look at their unwillingness to get uncomfortable and spend money and be who Steve Cohen is supposed to be.

and somehow build the team in a different manner, in a different way, it's hard to see the plan and feel overly confident about it.

Let's wait and see.

Season doesn't start for a long time.

We've got plenty of time here.
