IMHO it's a good price for a player that you know can succeed in the market and stadium. Not the best fit positionally, especially if they have to ask Conforto to play center, but at the same time so far all Dominic Smith has shown is that he couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.
Mets really need another infielder, I'm puzzled at their immediate lack of interest that was reported when Starlin got moved to Miami.
