Neil Walker isn’t under contract beyond this season, and the Mets should seriously consider trading him when he returns from his injury.
This is why they need to start Gavin Cecchini every day.
The Mets are probably not going anywhere in 2017, so they really have nothing to lose by playing their young guys.
With where the team is at, it makes little sense to play somebody at second base who will not be on the team next year.
If Cecchini plays every day, the Mets will better be able to decide if they want him as their starting second baseman going into next season.
