MLB Pipeline<\/a>, slashed .281\/.385\/.472 with 15 home runs, 73 RBI, and 22 stolen bases in 116 games between Single-A Brooklyn, Double-A Binghamton, and Triple-A Syracuse last season.\u00a0<\/p>\nMets president of baseball operations David Stearns has made it known throughout the offseason that the 22-year-old will be afforded every opportunity to make the big-league team out of camp. He would be slated to be the team\u2019s starting left-fielder come Opening Day should he meet those expectations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Initially seen as a center-field option with the position in flux over the past year, the Mets\u2019 acquisition of Luis Robert Jr. from the Chicago White Sox allows Benge to make the jump to the majors while playing an easier position.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A pair of future everyday contributors will also join the Mets in Port St. Lucie, FL, though their estimated times of arrival to the majors are a bit further down the road than Benge\u2019s.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
Center fielder AJ Ewing could be Robert Jr.\u2019s successor at the position, coming off a season in which he batted .301 with 39 extra-base hits and 70 stolen bases in 124 games with Low-A St. Lucie, High-A Brooklyn, and Double-A Binghamton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ryan Clifford, who could be the starting first baseman in Queens after Jorge Polanco\u2019s experimental two-year deal, posted an .826 OPS with 29 home runs and 93 RBI between Double-A and Triple-A last season.<\/p>\n
