Well Collin McHugh has thrown his last pitch for the New York Mets, at least for now. The Mets FINALLY got a speedy guy that can get on base, steal some bags, and play a good defense, in Eric Young Jr. The Mets have wanted him before and have made attempts at getting him but they finally achieved their goal in obtaining EY Jr. I liked this move because it didn't really look like McHugh was going to be nothing more than a mop up guy, spot starter or a fifth starter AT BEST.
I have like EY Jr. for a little bit now. He shows speed, and the ability to steal a base at the top of the lineup, something that the Mets haven't had since Jose Reyes. The best EY Jr. would have done in Colorado would have been a fourth outfielder. They already have Carlos Gonzalez, Dexter Fowler, and Michael Cuddyer patrolling their outfield. All of them great outfielders that belong in their everyday.
Eric Young Jr. has been a great shot in the arm for this team!
