Each week, I will be evaluating one player’s stock for next year. This week, we look at Wilmer Flores, a player whose career-defining on-field moment had nothing to do with his performance, yet who may soon develop a mainstream reputation that goes beyond an unusual display of emotion. Wilmer Flores, New York Mets 2017 statistics: .271/.307/.488, 18 home…
