Mets notes for Monday

As the Mets head into there final full week in St Lucie, they have technically an off day but there will be an intersquad game.

Some points of interest in Adam Rubins blog

We should see Carlos Delgado, Brian Schneider and Beltran to reenter the lineup Wednesday. Schneider plans to come to the complex during Monday’s off-day to run the bases for trainers.

Tim Redding is throwing on flat ground at 100 feet. Pitching coach Dan Warthen wants him to get to 180 feet before allowing him to step on a mound.

John Maine intends to report to the complex to work on his pitching mechanics. Scouts say he’s pushing the ball because he’s not fully extending his arm. They also say he’s telegraphing his changeup. Great news that he his healthy but his mechianics are a mess. He might have only 3 more chances to correct it before he starts the season against the Marlins.

The Mets might be interested in pitcher Shawn Hill who was released by the Nationals but the Blue Jays might be on the verge of signing him
