When it comes to the former top prospect of the Mets, we need to let him fully develop before we show him any ML time. We don't want to have to send him back down to the minors so we need to be sure hes ready when he comes up. As for Shuck, I love him. He's great at hitting the ball, seeing the ball, and not missing the ball. His only problem is that he doesn't have a true defensive position. Cust and his strikeouts/defense scare the crap out of me. I don't like the idea of him batting .220 and starting. I don't care if he walks a ton, it just doesn't sit well. But, I do have to say I love the overall direction this organization is headed. @Stroscrow @LEXthePEX @MattBrown Agreed.

You could flip the order and have Bourgeois/Shuck as the 4thnumber guy and Cust as bat off the bench/fifth outfielder. @LEXthePEX @MattBrown True.
