Buck Showalter Stinks: What the Mets' Batting Order SHOULD Be

The 2023 New York Mets have the highest payroll in MLB history, but they still pretty much stink. A lot of their woes come from horrific management. Billy Eppler is the worst GM in all of professional sports, and Buck Showalter - despite managing for 200 years - has never won a World Series. 

The batting order is being managed horribly. I need to shake things up. Here are the details: 

Buck's general lineup vs. righties 

1. Brandon Nimmo
2. Starling Marte
3. Francisco Lindor
4. Pete Alonso
5. Jeff McNeil
6. Daniel Vogelbach
7. Brett Baty
8. Luis Guillorme
9. Francisco Alvarez/Tomas Nido

MY lineup vs. righties

1. Nimmo
2. Lindor
3. Alonso
4. McNeil
5. Baty
6. Marte
7. Alvarez
8. Vogelbach
9. Guillorme

Buck's lineup vs. lefties

1. Nimmo
2. Marte
3. Lindor
4. Alonso
5. Pham
6. McNeil
7. Canha
8. Baty
9. Nido

MY lineup vs. lefties

1. Nimmo
2. McNeil
3. Lindor
4. Alonso
5. Baty
6. Marte
7. Alvarez
8. Canha
9. Pham

In my versions of the lineups, the youth - Brett Baty and Francisco Alvarez - is being promoted and nurtured. Eppler and Showalter do NOT know how to give confidence to young ballplayers.
