The list of current Mets worries might begin with Francisco Lindor
Lindor sports a .688 OPS through 60 games, which entered play Monday as the 26th best among 48 players who had taken at least 50 plate appearances as a shortstop.
Even when he is not hitting, Lindor’s solid glove makes him valuable, regardless, to a Mets team that has few alternatives.If not Lindor, then … Jeff McNeil? Eduardo Escobar? Buck Showalter has even mentioned Mark Canha as a candidate.“Who would play shortstop?” the manager asked rhetorically Sunday before addressing McNeil, Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo, too. “They’re good players. They will seek their level. Sooner or later they seem to always follow the track record.
In 12 at-bats against the Blue Jays this weekend, Lindor struck out eight times. Lindor, 6-for-48 in his past 12 games, believes it is a slump and nothing more.Lindor has two swings, one of which has been more effective.For his career, he has hit southpaws better, but not dramatically so.
