But the Mets believe Soto can improve his glove. “I think he is probably about a league average right fielder, and we think he has the ability to get better,” Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said. “And that’s something that we actually talked to Juan about during our meetings with him. He is very motivated to continue to improve, to improve his defense. He got better this past year, and we think he can take another step forward.” [/QUOTE]
