I don't think there is any analyst, fan, or player out there who has watched the Mets this year that seriously thinks Andres Torres deserves to come right back and be he starting center fielder after what this kid Nieuwenhuis has done the last month. The kid plays an awesome center field, he's made some catches the last few weeks that I don't think I have seen a Mets center fielder make since I can remember watching them. And that's not ever, let's say in the last twenty years. And no, Endy Chavez's catch was in left field in the 06 LCS so you can suck me. Secondly, he's hitting .316 with a .381 on base percentage. I know it's only been a month, but that's way better numbers than you're gonna get from Andres fucking Torres ever. If there's one thing I've learned about baseball it's that a guys stats never lie. He's a career .243 hitter and he's never played in more than 139 games. Also, his career on base percentage is .318. And this fucking guy's gonna hit lead off for you? He's the same thing as Angel Pagan. Release him and send him somewhere that's not Citi Field. You're trying to rebuild a franchise and you're not gonna do it with a 34 year old center fielder who leads off and never gets on base. Nieuwenhuis needs to be the starter and it's not even debatable. Yeah he'll go through some growing pains, but I'd rather watch him make mistakes and grow than watch Torres hit .220 and be a waste of an at bat. Please, Terry Collins, man up and do what's better for the team. And what's better for the team isn't Torres.
