Yoenis Cespedes

I paid special attention to Yoenis Cespedes during Sunday night's Mets/Nationals game. He is one of those players with an aura, a commanding presence. Watching him hit, or prepare for a fly ball to come his way, he draws and holds your attention.
Sunday night in his second game as a Met, he singled just ahead of Lucas Duda's home run. But that was just a warm up for Monday night against the Marlins in Miami.
Cespedes feasted on Miami pitching as if were stone crab. The newest Mets contributed 3 hits in 5 times up, scoring 2 runs to go along with 4 RBIs.
His presence changes the image of the Mets batting order. All of a sudden, it appears potent instead of soft, the stuff of serious contenders. A lot has to do with the power hitting outfielder wearing #52.
