Marte might not be a done deal.....but I can't seea situation (beyond injury) where he isn't an Opening Day regular. That is a done deal.
Even if we bring in a Joe Torre or Earl Weaver to manage this team (Sadly, Yogi Berra is no longer an option), you think they won't see something they like in the kid? You think Cano won't say something veteran-leader-All Star like about the kid?
Pencil him in. That is a done deal.
He could still go all Figgins at some point, I suppose. I'm not betting on that, however.
The questio is whether he is a good glove 100 OPS guy or a good glove 80 OPS guy. A onth ago I would have felt comfortable laying money on Door #2.
I like Door #1 (or something closer to it) right now.
Even Monte Hall would see that at this point.
