There are at least 5 guys I think are legitimately better at his very position. The position is loaded. He has not made an all star team as Met (and didn’t at the end of his Cleveland career) and he will not make it this year. Those are not a great signs for your flagship, highest paid offensive player player.

You are right the position is stacked and I agree he has not lived up to his contract
But amongst all MLB shortstops
#1 in Home Runs with 16
#1 in RBI with 54
#1 in Runs with 46
# 3 total bases with 134
#6 in WAR at 2.4

So his batting average sucks but

So position might be stack but offense wise he is producing compared to his Shortstop peers
And defensively he is still solid

And more importantly his lousy contract looks better then some of the other Shortstops that got monster contracts also

Gary and Keith talking about what happens if Ohtani comes to the Mets. Imagine him wanting to join this dumpster fire!

Time for the SF Giants to pony up 400m for Ohtani after dodging the Correa bullet.

Who knows but hearing the number being thrown around is 600 for 10. Pretty soon we`ll be talking NBA money !

Alvarez seems to be getting stronger as the year has progressed. And he has been clutch. I like what I see.

According to Sarah Langs of MLB.com, Alvarez now has five game-tying or game-winning home runs in the sixth inning or later, which is the most in MLB.

Alvarez now has more HRs (16) than any other catcher in baseball this year.

He has two 3 game series this year with 3 Home Runs. The only other Mets Rookie to even have one 3 game series with 3 Home Runs was Larry Elliot in 1964.

He is 21 years old.

He is currently one of their very few shining lights. He has been clutch and he seams to have the qualities to be a star.
Even the way he responded to when he was thrown at and hit on the wrist was like a pro.

On the flip side 5 game winning streak. Looking good but sadly still looking 5 games under .500 and a lifetime away from the Division lead and/or the wild card
