It probably didn’t come as much of a surprise to the New York Mets that David Wright is once again on the shelf with much uncertainty surrounding his return. Wilmer Flores — whom the Mets once hoped would be their future shortstop — has taken the reigns at third, while rumors are aswirl that Jose Reyes may be nearing a return to New York to bolster their infield depth.
What about within the organization? The Mets do have the veteran Kelly Johnson as a super-utility role player, but is there some youth on the farm that could possibly provide some help to a thin infield.
Is now the time to give Gavin Cecchini — one of the Mets upper-tier prospects — his shot in the bigs?
