Fun fact about Aaron Altherr: In 2017, he became the first (and as far as I can tell, still the only) player to
Slightly less fun fact about Aaron Altherr: He homered in his first plate appearance as a Met.

In 2017 Altherr had 412 PA with a wRC+ of 120 which is behind only Hoskins at 158 wRC+/212 PA, Alfaro at 127/114, and Kendrick at 127/156. Altherr was essentially the Phils' best hitter for a majority of the non-Hoskins part of the season and though the metrics didn't favor his defense last year he can play all three outfield positions well imo. Also in early early spring training he's already hitting .444/.545/.778 with a home run through 11 PAs so he's starting off hot.
It just seems that in the buzz we've stopped talking about one of the team's best hitters last year. Most people aren't even including him in their opening day lineups, favoring Williams instead and I think it's a testament to the team that we have at least two/three players (Hoskins/Santana and maybe Doobs) that we want to start 100% of the time over Altherr, but I'm more excited about Altherr than I am Williams and I'm super excited about a lineup that could look like
Hernandez 2B Hoskins LF Santana 1B Altherr RF Herrera CF Crawford SS Alfaro C Franco 3B
with Williams and Quinn off the bench. Man if we could roll out a rotation with Nola and one of Arrieta/Lynn/Cobb at the top I see no reason we can't be in the wild card hunt because that lineup could hit.
TL;DR Altherr was our best hitter last year for most of the season
