Vientos’ Future in Mets’ Hands | New York Mets News

0:00On September 7th, the meds seem to be leaning towards keeping Jared young around. He's a solid first baseman and designated hitter who can handle himself defensively and his well against right-handed pitching. This move would likely mean they're looking for a different kind of player to complement him. Someone who hits varieties and can also play first base. A role Mark Biancos hasn't quite filled this year. The team is using this final stretch of the season to evaluate Biancos, especially his defense at first base. He's had some struggles there, including an error and a recent game against the giants. Even though that specific play didn't lead to runs, it's another mark against them as they figure out the roster for next season. Biancos has been working on his first base skills, but the numbers aren't exactly showing a huge improvement. He's ranked near the bottom among players with significant innings at first base in terms of defensive effectiveness. He's also had a few errors in his recent games at the position. His bat was what got him into the line of consistently, but that hot streak from last year is looking more like an exception than the rule.

1:04While he's still a threat against left-handed pitching, his struggles against varieties and his defensive limitations make it tough to find a consistent spot for him, especially since he can't be sent down to the minor leagues. It's possible the September games are Biancos' audition for his future with the Metz, but he's just trying to focus on playing and enjoying the game, with his teammates.
