Mets looking at multiple leadoff options for 2017

The Mets don’t really have a true leadoff hitter in their everyday lineup. Jose Reyes‘ name will always come up, of course, but short of injuries to David Wright or Asdrubal Cabrera, he’s not slated to start every game, so he shouldn’t be included in that specific discussion.

Mets manager Terry Collins is aware of this lack of an everyday leadoff man too. He spoke to the New York Post’s Mike Puma and told him how he’s looking at this decision ahead of Spring Training.

Collins is considering three main options to leadoff games: Curtis Granderson, Neil Walker, and Asdrubal Cabrera.
