Mets manager Terry Collins said Friday that he's unsure whether Juan Lagares will be on the bench or at Triple-A if he doesn't win a starting job. At the moment, it looks like Collins is leaning towards having Chris Young in center field, Curtis Granderson in right and Eric Young Jr. in left. That hurts the club's defense, but Collins appears to prefer Young Jr. for the leadoff spot. Newsday's Marc Carig thinks Lagares will begin the year at Triple-A if he's not a starter at the big league level.
