God, I hope not. Joel was kind. He is not a ML player. There are dozens of better alternatives to sign that could fill that role at AAA and as a short term call up. Hopefully, the Mets feel the same way and will fix this gap in the roster.
Funny. But seriously, there is no reason to think he'll be a contributor. He brings nothing to the table that plenty of other players don't bring. How is he any better than Naquin, for example? I'd call him a 5th outfielder at best.
Highly optimistic late January article when news is hard to come by. Lee's performance last year was "uneven"? He's a AAAA player? BA of .214? Really, Justin, it looks like he just can't hit. btw, Guillorme still isn't getting the respect he deserves. McNeil should be thought of as the 4th outfielder, with Guillorme moving into 2nd base often. I was disappointed with the Pham acquisition.

2 weeks to go, and our TV team is still G_R! Where's Keith, and why hasn't he been re-signed?
Possible pleasant surprise candidate, currently forgotten man-- Darin Ruf.
Even including a VERY Ruf Mets debut, he's still well over .800 OPS vs LHP, both career AND '22.
