Yesterday was a typical day in Mets land. Beltran makes it back and Bay goes down. The Mets on Monday placed Nick Evans on the waiver wire and less then 24 hours later they wish they didn't. The Mets and Evans will know later today if he will be still with the Mets. If so he still probably will head down to Buffalo with Lucas Duda getting a roster spot if the Mets DL Bay.
Drama finds this team but I thought with less then 60 hours to Mets opening day I would dwell on some positives out of Mets camp.
Chris Young and Capuano have pitched well. Alderson and the Mets took fliers on the 2 injured pitchers and so far they have been very good in camp. Young has done his best to hide the ball and Capuano who had about 20 starts last year for the Brewers has done his best to pitching inside to righties to keep them off balance. He even drove in 3 runs yesterday with a double.
Josh Thole and his added power.Thole has cracked 3 homers and 4 doubles as part of his 21 hit spring so far. Thole really has hit the ball with authority and continues to make contact with only 6 strike outs in 55 at bats and has a on base percentage of .424.
Angel Pagan looks raring to go. He kind of labored at the end of the long 2010 campaign but so far this spring he looks great. Yes its only spring but we will take it. Pagan will be batting 2nd behind Reyes and has 6 steals to lead the club this spring.
Team is scoring runs- The Mets are averaging almost 5.5 runs a game. Yes its only spring but its a good sign.
No more Ollie or Castillo- Everyone wanted them gone. The Mets complied .
The Mets have 1 game left this spring . Today at noon against the Marlins. Yeah makes alot of sense I know to face the team they play Friday . Look for Chris Young to get his last spring start.
