What can Adrian Gonzalez give the New York Mets this year? If they’re lucky, Gonzalez saves them from being a joke at first base.
When the Mets entered the offseason, they had an obvious need at first base. Instead of going big and signing Eric Hosmer or Carlos Santana, they went about as small as one could go. When the year’s over, it will end up as the team’s biggest mistake of the winter.
It’s strange that the Mets would believe in Gonzalez so much to pass on cheaper quality bats like Yonder Alonso or Logan Morrison.
