Yoenis Cespedes — Cespedes is one of the best power hitters in baseball when he is locked in, but right now he is experiencing some soreness in his wrist. X-Rays have come back negative, but he took a cortisone shot recently, and he deserves to be watched closely over the coming ten days. Cespedes is expected to bat second in the batting order which should let him feast on fastballs; it could be an exciting year for him if he can stay off the DL.
Michael Conforto — Speaking of the DL, Conforto is going to begin the season on the DL as he recovers from off-season left shoulder surgery. The good news is that he is progressing nicely in rehab and is even expected to play in one or two spring training games. Look for Conforto to miss the first month of the season, but he could make a big impact from May 1st onward.

Jay Bruce — Bruce is expected to hit third for the Mets this season and the team is going to need to him to concentrate on improving his OBP (.324 last season). Bruce is a big power hitter, so I am not sure that third is the right spot for him, but the Mets are desperate for offense and Bruce might provide solid Fantasy numbers this year if he can get off to a hot start.
