I don’t think Van Slyke has huge upside or anything, but he could provide more value than 34 and 35 yr old utility guys that can’t hit a lick.

His head would get all big and he’d probably ask for a minimum contract, rather than accept an invite to camp. The Mets have enough drama going on with RA Dickey and his outrageous demands. They don’t need another headache like this.

Andy Van Slyke was way too successful for them to consider his progeny.

Still has some upside as a solid contributor
