Chino: ] Jenry Mejia: if a strong spring arises, would he come out the bullpen as said? I really like Ike Davis, he had a strong minor league season, a strong winter league, if he has a great spring training, what are the odds murphy being sent down and Ike starting? Neither scenario is impossible. Stranger things have happened - and the Mets really do love Mejia and Davis. But both are longshots.

knightreader: ] in today's paper jason bay says that he was on his high school curling team just to get some exercise and drink beer after practice. i know he is from canada, but what is the legal drinking age up there? perhaps it's as low as 18 years old, but not all seniors are 18 in high school. was he misquoted, is he promoting underage drinking after practices or do i not understand what is going on here... Hey Knightreader - I don't think he was promoting underage drinking. He was recalling a story from his high school days and I guess it involved curling and beer. I'm not sure what the drinking age is/was during his high school days in British Columbia or what year he was in, but Bay does not strike me as the big party type. Maybe he was 18 and maybe it was perfectly legal. Or maybe there was no drinking age. I can't answer that question. Lennon is slower than Traschel

Mike: ] I'm a little concerned about Jerry saying Matthews could be a leadoff hitter. Pagan is a natural fit there. I agree Mike. I think Jerry was trying not to discourage Matthews right off the bat. But I think Angel Pagan is going to be this team's starting CF - and leadoff hitter - until Beltran returns. Q Bruno: ] Do the mets have a good rookie with a shot to play this year? How about Thole? I can see Thole getting some time eventually, maybe because of an injury or September call-up. But I think the Mets are set at their top two catching slots with Barajas and Blanco. Thole will be the starting catcher at Triple-A Buffalo,but Omir Santos could be the first option if Mets need help at the majors. I think Ike Davis might log a few games at the major-league level too at some point. And I already mentioned Mejia having a shot at the bullpen. Mike Cumrie has a question in

Cleon: ] Hi David. Any darkhorses or suprises we might see break camp? Here's a dark horse: How about Jenrry Mejia in a late-inning relief role? Could happen. Does Jacons count as a dark horse? I could see them opting for his power off the bench, even if he doesn't really have a position. Otherwise, not many surprises out there. Not that I can see at the moment anyway.

Chino: ] Mid Season Trade Scenario, Red Sox wont give up what the Pads are asking for Gonzo, DO you think the Mets will appear as a dark horse and offer Ike Davis,Niese ,Pagan, Thole including another player,would the Pads bite? At the end of the day its business and the Pads do not have money Wednesday February 24, 2010 3:07 Chino 3:09 I really see the Sox as the main players for Gonzalez - especially with the Hoyer connection. And if Boston wants a player bad enough, they have a very deep farm system to do it. If Gonzalez is traded, I'd be stunned if it wasn't to the Red Sox.

ken: ] why do you suppose the media and mets fans think so little of Pelfrey, Maine, and Perez. Two of them won 15 games just 2 years ago. They are young and all 3 have great arms. It's not like these are old guys who have Tom Glavine stuff. I also believe the Mets bullpen will be a big strength I agree with you Ken to some degree. Those three are no aging pitchers with declining physical skills. It's all about the mental aspect, which is why I believe both Perez and Pelfrey can and will improve this season. As for Maine, I have to see him manage his pitch count better to stay in games and he really has one pitch - a decent moving fastball. Have to say I'm not sold on the pen. A lot of questions out there, chief among them the set-up guy for K-Rod. I have my doubts about Escobar. This shoulder seems like it's going to be a chronic problem. I asked JCL

Jake: ] On a realistic level, how do you think Perez and Maine will bounce back, could you give us a win total? How many HR's for Wright? OK, Jake we'll start with some predictions. I actually feel good about Perez and Maine, but Perez more so. I'm thinking Perez has a decent shot at matching his career-best with 15, but I see Maine more like 10. HRs for Wright? I'd say the over under on that is 22, and I'll pick 25

I'll post the Q&A here....second question in..\ Hilary Duffy Dyer: ] Hi David , we have heard talk before about reyes hitting 3rd , I'll believe it when I see it.....will it happen? Wednesday February 24, 2010 3:03 Hilary Duffy Dyer 3:05 Hey Hilary ... Hmmm. Reyes hitting third was more of an experiment last season - and one that got cut short because of the WBC. This year, the Mets have put a lot more thought into it and without Beltran, I believe it will help. I do see Reyes hitting third to start the season

Hilary Duffy Dyer has submitted one about Reyes hitting 3rd....and without shame asked Lennon for a birthday wish....

Apologies '62 , I am sure all trams go through trials and tribulations regarding injured players. Should they have repaired it sooner?, it's all a judgement call isn't it?

What would Omar know? , that Flores is a slow healer according to Nats people. Flores took a foul tip to the shoulder in a game last May, he was taken in the draft by the Nats as a rule 5 in 2006.

Arguing on MBTN? , cos I've not seen anything like that there.

Jay Bell was already seven years ago....wow.....found this looking at the wiki page for Desi Relaford, kinda cool and fits with the image I have of Desi. Six Hole Records Desi Relaford is the founder of 6 Hole Records, based out of Jacksonville, Florida. 6 Hole Records is the home of underground hip hop artists including 9th Wonder, Willie Evans Jr. and Therapy, as well as artists and groups like Asamov, L.E.G.A.C.Y., Rapper Big Pooh and The Away Team. The label specializes in releasing authentic & genuine hip-hop music that pays homage to the foundation and elements of hip-hop (DJing, B-Boying, MCing, & Graffiti).

2010 CPF NL Only Fantasy Baseball Anyone?

Cool thread.

Yes , emphasized that to the detriment of power. something Hojo has acknowledged and will hope to right this Spring Training. I guess my point is to not overly focus on one thing ,like throwing strikes or hitting to all fields....yyybbb
