NY Mets best players at each position five years from now
By Tim Boyle

All-time best Mets center fielders five years from now
When was the last time the Mets had a great center fielder? Both defensively and offensively, it has been a challenge for this franchise.
Fortunately, there is a rich history of talented players who have called the position their own. Putting any current or future Mets on this list could be risky. I’m curious to see if we get a Pete Crow-Armstrong sighting.
Matt
1. Carlos Beltran
2. Mookie Wilson
3. Tommie Agee
4. Lenny Dykstra
5. Lee Mazzilli
Elizabeth
1. Carlos Beltran
2. Tommie Agee
3. Mookie Wilson
4. Lenny Dykstra
5. Lee Mazzilli
Michael
1. Carlos Beltran
2. Mookie Wilson
3. Charlie Blackmon
4. Lenny Dykstra
5. Tommie Agee
A quick scan and you might think we have three nearly identical lists. And we do! There are only six different names on these lists. Matt and Elizabeth are nearly the same. The only difference is Matt has Mookie Wilson as number two and Elizabeth has him swapped with her runner-up, Tommie Agee.
Lenny Dykstra finished fourth on every list. There are no real surprises except for one.
Michael makes the bold prediction that the third greatest center fielder in Mets history five years from now will be Charlie Blackmon. Chuck Nasty is going to end up with the Mets and accomplish enough to have a better career in Flushing than Dykstra and Agee. Personally, I have my doubts on this. Blackmon could surely end up with the Mets. However, I see him more suited toward transitioning into a corner outfield role. He turns 35 this summer and doesn’t strike me as an ageless wonder ready to roam center field for another five seasons.
I will say I appreciate the boldness of this prediction. Blackmon is a guy I think many fans outside of Colorado enjoy watching play. He can do a little bit of everything. If he was with the Mets in his prime, Blackmon would have easily climbed onto our top five list.
