Been a diehard Mets fan since the 70s, I'm 45 now. I can honestly say that Lindor has had the best Mets start to his career then anyone I can remember. He is worth every much of that 341 million dollar contract.

The season is young, but the $300 million man is doing just as well as 99.9% of all Mets superstar signings...
Horribly.

Is it time to start worrying? Another Cleveland Infielder bust (Baerga...Alomar....)? Almost Memorial Day ... still below Mendoza Line.. well we are stuck for now and no cutting him or trading him for Royce Ring...
Hopefully..someday we’ll look back on this and it will all seem funny (sorry Bruce)...
Not prescient...

Before everyone keeps piling on Francisco "the 300 Million Dollar Man" Lindor, let us not forget that he had an amazing spring training this year. He showed up with blue hair (looking eerily like the mother in A Clockwork Orange) and proceeded to rake. He hit a lot of home runs and hit for a high batting average.
No matter what he does in the next ten years, at least we can look back to when he (and his hair) were the talk of Port St. Lucie in the spring of 2021.

Let's hope year 2 goes better for Francisco as a Met.

BREAKING NEWS: I just learned that the official color of Lindor's hair this year has been, as he calls it, "Seafoam Green". I only learned that from listening to the SF KNBR broadcast on April 19, 2022. His helmet came off in the 5th inning when he drove in the tying run, and one of the Giants broadcasters (I think Dave Fleming) said that's what Lindor calls it: Seafoam Green.
Yet, whenever Howie and Wayne have described his hair color this year, I swear, they call it "a shade of blue". It's almost they are trying to cover up for his questionable choice of hair color. Now I'll be waiting for the day when the Mets PR department finally decides to allow Howie and Wayne to release this information.
By the way, I had actually seen Lindor's hair in color photos before I learned this news, but I would have described it as "aqua", not "seafoam green". I know they are basically the same, but "seafoam green" is sure a whole heck of a lot more specific than "a shade of blue". In my humble opinion, Seafoam Green looks more appropriate for Miami (or perhaps a late-'70's era Shea Stadium), but it agrees with Lindor (so far) this year. Last year, his average never rose above .250 but this year, with Seafoam Green, he reached a .310 batting average yesterday before an 0-5 performance tonight dropped him down to .277 as of this writing.
P.S., Kudos to the Giants broadcasting team for enlightening me. I'm not a Giants fan at all, but I can confidently say that KNBR presents by far the best, most professional MLB radio broadcast (including pre and postgame shows). If (or when) the Mets aren't playing, I always find Jon Miller and Co. to be an excellent backup. I'm not saying I like listening to Jon Miller and Dave Fleming more than Howie and Wayne, but try listening to a Giants broadcast after a Giants-Mets game on a replay sometime, and you might learn something about the Mets that you never knew before, like "Seafoam Green".

I was a Lindor doubter early on, however his performances in 2022 and 2023 have turned me into a believer. I thought 2022 was great, but 2023, despite his lower BA, was truly fun to watch and follow. 108 runs, 98 RBI, 31 homers, 31 steals ... for a SHORTSTOP?
Lindor isn't a Hall of Famer yet, but he's on my Hall of Fame radar.
In the Mets Hall of Fame project I run on another website, he was elected with 100% of the vote in his second try on the ballot.

Whattadiva……
Guy is soft as pudding, and looks to everyone but himself to “will” him (with prayers, good vibes, and standing ovations)……
Real fans don’t forget the crap you pulled with that other loser Baez, during the 5 minutes he was here.
How about you just hit the baseball, like you’re being paid $341MM to do?
*thumbs down*
……clown.

For 1-DaWG and other haters, I hope you watched yesterday’s game in Atlanta.
Mr. Smile was Keith Hernandez, Edgardo Alfonzo, and Mike Piazza all rolled into one with his clutch hit in the 8th inning and his homer for the ages in the 9th to beat the Braves.
Those two at-bats earned him the huge contract, forever love and respect from Mets fans, and future induction into the Mets Hall of Fame as his no. 12 is unveiled at the top of Citi Field.
