To me, this is an easy decision. Eric Young represents speed, something the Mets seriously lack. And ask the 2004 Yankees how important speed can be in the playoffs. Then too Kirk Nieuwenhuis
seems to be a good guy and had some big knocks for us this season, but Juan Lagares is playing really well and in the playoffs, where runs can often be a premium, having Young on your roster could give Terry Collins a more valuable option in a tight spot against the Cubs. Bottom line, Sandy Alderson needs to do the right thing and replace Nieuwenhuis with Young.
