Carson Benge's Mets Debut Looms as Right Field Race Heats Up

New York Met's story is making news on March 7.

With Met's opening day just weeks away on March 26th, the battle for the starting

right field spot involves five players, but it might boil.

Down to whether top prospect Carson Benj is ready for the big leagues.

Other contenders include Mike Talkman, MJ Melinda's on a split contract, Tyrone Taylor

with strong defense but weak offense last year, and Brett Beatty.

Benj is versatile enough for first space or designated hitter duties.

General manager David Sterns has been clear that Bengay enters camp with a real shot

at the roster, stressing the need to create space for top minor.

Leaguers who deserve a chance to contribute right away.

In spring training so far, Benjers has impressed with three hit games, an opposite field

homer, solid contact, and sharp outfield play, including strong, throws, looking every

bit like a major league.

Meanwhile, Talkman has performed well too, but is the climbing range makes Bengay the

front runner if the Met stay proactive after last seasons.

Disappointments, potentially handing him the job to start against the pirates at City

Field.
