    Yup, for sure the kids are going to have their growing pains but I think Sanchez and Judge (and Bird next year) are such legitimate power hitters that they should still provide production through their struggles just from pitcher's mistakes and taking advantage of the many mediocre/bad SP they'll be facing and similiar to the types they've batted against in AAA.

    The biggest usual obstacle and problem will be chasing bad pitches.

    My opinion, the only way any of them will be sent back to the minors next year is if they are hitting like Teixeira currently is........
    ".200" BA, high strikeout rate and not alot of HRs.

    Yanx are 24th in the majors in hits (981), 28th in doubles (172), 22nd in HR (123), 27th in total bases (1556), 24th in RBI (458), 19th in batting average (.250), 23rd in OBP (.311), 26th in SLG (.397), and 23rd in walks (332).


    ...hmmmm, must be time to fire the hitting coaches again.

    Not a moment before the Mets fire that self promoting overrated blowhard Kevin Long.....where do the Mets currently rank in offensive categories?
    lol...
    ....We'll wait....maybe Cespedes when he returns from the DL will again save Long and the Mets' asses like he did last year.
