Jeff McNeil Slated To Be Mets Everyday Third Baseman
5 years agoNew York Mets infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil is projected to be the Mets everyday third baseman once the 2020 season begins. While McNeil will still be getting reps at second base and in the corner outfield spots, he won't be playing any of those positions unless injuries necessitate it. In 2019, McNeil hit .318/.384/.531 with 23 home runs, 83 runs scored, 75 RBI and five stolen bases in 510 at-bats. He spent 61 games in left field, 39 games in right field, 34 games at second base and 24 games at third base. Because of his usage in 2019, McNeil will maintain plenty of positional eligibility on most fantasy platforms in 2020, despite his being forecast to only play third base in 2020. This position eligibility, which gives owners valuable flexibility with their daily rosters, further serves to enhance McNeil's value at his current ADP of 85.
