Marisnick or one of the losers in the Mets' outfield battle would be a decent pick-up.

Nimmo, J.D. Davis and Conforto are expected to be the starters.

They also have Domonic Smith and Cespedes (all the Cubans, if they come with a huge salary subsidy).

The Mets just traded for Marisnick and he’s a terrible hitter.  I would hope we do better than him as a righty OF option.

The problem is he has much less of a track record offensively.

89 plate appearances against lefties last season have people convinced Engel is a legit platoon option since he did this:

.313 .360 .482 .841

Meanwhile, here are Engel’s career splits against lefties in 307 plate appearances:

.252 .298 .381 .679

I mean, sure Engel sucks, but he's cheap and it's like 150 PA. I'd prefer an upgrade, obviously, but I don't really think Pillar is an upgrade. Maybe Hunter Pence?

I’d prefer a guy who can still play some CF and RF.  I doubt he can play CF but how is Pence’s RF defense these days?

Pretty bad, he's old and he was never a stellar defender. He can fake it, though. I guess it depends on what the money looks like. Engel is practically free, at least for one more season, and a good defender, which are the only points in his favor.

He would make sense for Timmy's tweet. 

Timmy’s tweet was a load of crap, just like 90% of his tweets.

Betts makes zero sense too.

Yep, Hahn isn’t stupid enough to trade young talent for one year of Betts’ services.
