Sometimes it is the small stuff that helps improve a team ... at 1B the IBC Mets will go with the young and improving Joey Votto who should improve over last year. His back-up, an off season waiver wire pick-up.

Ryan Shealy has had an up-and-down career, but if you look at his overall numbers in 164 career games — basically a full season — he’s hit .271/.335/.429 with 19 homers, 96 RBIs, and 46 BB. Not great but not bad for a spot start, occasional DH or pinch hitter and a solid fill-in if Votto goes on the DL for a short period of time.
