"Sherlock Holmes is the nickname for new Mets coach Glenn Sherlock.

Terry Collins Talks Playoffs by J.T. Teran of Rising Apple

"That attitude that Collins is expressing is the exact attitude that a team from New York should have. It’s not necessarily swagger, or cockiness, but it’s confidence based on actual facts.The Mets were decimated by injuries and still earned the top Wild Card spot last year. That was no easy task, and it should be used as inspiration in 2017."

Nevertheless, Alderson has said OF Michael Conforto will see action first base, as well as in the outfield, during spring training."
