For me, a tough call between Valentin and Chavez. I expected a decent year from both Beltran (though not quite this good) and Glavine. I thought Lo Duca was decent, and that Nady had the chance to be decent. I thought there was a chance for Milledge and Soler to impress in their debuts. I expected Valentin and Chavez to suck BHMC. I picked Chavez.
I like today's poll: Who has been the most pleasant surprise of the year for the Mets thus far? nymets.com only listed the first five options above, I'm going for more. I guess I could've put Banniser, Oliver, and a couple others in that list. Write in with bold.

Gotta be careful these days. It's going to be hard to differentiate between a Met-Lovin Big Shot and a Bandwagoning Big Shot. Didn't 50 Cent wear Red Yankee hats back in the day?
Flag on the play: Too much caring about the Yankees. Come on, we're the Mets. What do we care about a second-rate organization that happens to habitate the same city?
