David Stearns believes Francisco Lindor is approaching ‘greatest’ season by Mets position player
NY Post
Amid early NL MVP arguments, David Stearns believes Francisco Lindor’s season should not be merely compared with Shohei Ohtani’s.
How about 2024 Lindor vs. 2007 David Wright? Or 2006 Carlos Beltran? Or 1996 Bernard Gilkey? Or 1998 John Olerud?
In stumping for his star shortstop, Stearns aimed higher than Lindor surpassing all of his 2024 National League peers in value.
Maybe Lindor’s excellent season should be evaluated by whether he has taken down ghosts of the club’s past and might be authoring the greatest season ever for a Mets position player.
“We’re getting to the point, I think, where we’re talking about perhaps the greatest individual position-player season in the history of this franchise,” the Mets president of baseball operations — and a longtime Mets fan with a good knowledge of the history of the organization — said before the Mets played the Red Sox at Citi Field on Tuesday. “I’ve been around some really special seasons, been around some MVP seasons — this is right up there with anything I’ve seen on a day-to-day basis.”
Lindor’s back-of-the-baseball-card numbers are solid but not outstanding.
