Edgy MD wrote: There's nothing wrong with using Matz out of the pen. No small amount of good and great starters have debuted as relievers and spot starters until a spot in the rotation opened up. Certainly nothing wrong with considering it. Its a concern about his surgically repaired arm and whether it could stand up to the irregular use a reliever gets rather then the structured program of a starter. I'd consider it only after checking with several medical specialists that it would be ok. Later

Lefty Specialist wrote: The Mets' other lefty relief candidates include Rule 5 pick Sean Gilmartin, Scott Rice, Dario Alvarez and Jack Leathersich. The Mets have Darin Gorski and former Tiger/Marlin Duane Below in minor-league camp. OY! I hope they don't even consider turning Matz into a reliever. Later

Get out your dueling banjos, folks. This thread is just getting into it. Later

Proves he is a good "organization filler". He has a good year at Las Vegas considering it's, y'know, Las Vegas, but doesn't show enough to be called up ahead of the more highly touted prospects. Maybe next year. But while he's still training with the big club, (channeling Fmann) I can just see Daniel Murphy nervously eyeing the minor leaguers in the locker room, trying to determine which of them has learned whether Tyler was a bitter Pill to swallow.

6 man rotation: Pro: * Limits the innings of Harvey, giving him a chance to build up arm strength * Gives them a chance to showcase all of their starters for potential trade partners * Reduces the number of starts for Niese (always a good thing) * Starters can pitch in relief, if needed, on days when they would normally be "getting in work". This used to be done all the time. Con: * More starts for the 4-6 starters, fewer for the better pitchers, and resultant impact on pennant race. * Niese still pitches every 6 days. Later

Wilpon also vowed to be around much more this spring training. ... �He told me two weeks ago, �Look, I�m going to be here a lot -- a lot,� Terrific. That's like telling the army unit that General Custer will be there. Later

Gives the Mets another bullpen arm, which is good, Gives Terry another closer option, which is bad. Yeah, the sports adage says you don't lose your position due to injury, but this isn't football. He was a pitcher who had an arm injury. But I feel if Mejia has a burp in performance, Terry will put Parnell in the closer role, even though Familia will be having a better year. The result will be 2-4 3.96ERA 7 saves and 5 blown saves. Later

Neither MSN nor Yahoo has been posting box scores. MLB.com has, and they're tough to read. Later

As for Conforto, he is going to hit very well at AA and AAA, showing 15-20 HR power (total). Then, in 2016 he'll hit his way onto the big league club. Later

Despite your recent birthday, you're not getting older. You're getting better. Later

He's going to stick with the club because he's out of options and MDD still has at lest one left. He'll play all three outfield positions and get about 200 at bats , hitting .245-7-24. Later

Just paint a big number 2 on the infield dirt between second and third bases. It would have the same amount of range.. So would a small #2. I know, I know. Two CPF-ers have already commented on this. I hat it when I can read the posts at work and can't log on to post my comments until I get home. F'n security software. Later

Not as catchy as Abraham, Martin and John. Later

A 3.99 ERA, a 1.41 WHIP and about one hundred hairs torn out of my head (there won't be many left after that) in frustration and a season long sore throat from screaming for Terry to get him out of the game before its totally lost. I can't wait until he is replaced in the rotation. I hope his numbers are good enough so the Mets can get something valuable in return. Later

He certainly didn't hurt himself with that homer yesterday. But I think his homers will be cutting through AA and AAA air this year. Later
-
You can pencil him for his usual .285 with 40 doubles, 10 homers and adequate defense at second. Not sure whether those numbers will all be compiled as a Member of the Mets. If he gets dealt to the MFYs (maybe part of a multi-team deal), subtract 10 doubles and add 10 homers because of that little league park. Later

Did Parker wear the helmet to protect himself from the batteries that fans threw at him? Later
-
I didn't realize he had that much pop (14 HR at Las Vegas, but 9 HR the prior year at Binghamton). Still has to get his BA up a tad for him to be recalled. Not brought up this year. Later

3 run dinger from Monell after an rbi single from Reynolds. Yowza! 7-2 good guys. Later
