6. Michael Conforto, Left Field
With Cespedes back, Conforto won't take on such a huge role in New York's lineup, as there's no need to bat him up in the order and he's likely to sit against lefties in favor of Juan Lagares. That being said, most days Conforto will be sixth in the lineup, hoping that his promising rookie season provides some protection for Wright. With Conforto in this spot, Collins can continue to go right-left-right-left, and if the youngster can pick up where he left off last season, the Mets will have good depth in their lineup.
