If you ask Mats fans I'm guessing most of them would say Lindor is the first or second reason the Mets are where they are.
And a lot of them would comment on how much he smiles and how crazy his hair is, which I don't think savvy baseball people are particularly interested in.

Lindor leads all MLB shortstops in Home Runs, RBIs and Runs. He also is a very good defensive SS. Some fans only see his contract and hated him from Day 1, he's a lot like Beltran, who was an outstanding Met but remains unpopular because of a huge contract and a tough first year in NY. Lindor is also a stand-up guy who answers every question after a game, win or lose.
I believe Lindor is overpaid but who cares? We have an owner willing to spend, this isn't the Wilpons anymore.
