Mets: Looking good!

[Pared]

Beltran has 3 homers, Matsui and Mientkiewicz are hitting, and Reyes is running.... Things are looking bright so far...

Any news and notes on possible surprise "makes" for the ML club?

Do not jinx us!!

Ginter is trying to get into the rotations and some outfielder named Kerry Robinson is getting rave reviews from the staff.

I don't expect to see Phillips play at first anymore, he'll be fulltime backup catcher and the starting catcher in American League parks.

I'm not trying to! LOL

It's a shame about Phillips too, b/c he's been hitting the ball pretty hard. I wish there was a way to get him in the lineup aside from AL games...

Well Piazza won't catch more than 115 or so games, fo there's 47 games for Phillips, plus pinch hitting, etc.

How have the players taken to Randolph's managerial style? I've heard he's set rules and such that hasn't been seen in the Mets organization in a long time.

I hear that Pedro is looking pretty good as well too.

I haven't heard anything that the players are grumbling about. So, I'm guessing that its cool?

Well it looks like Trachsel will be on the DL for a long time with his bad back.

Probably the biggest suprise so far has been Chris Woodward. He was pretty much garabe the past 2 seasons with the Jays, but he has a hot bat so far.

That doesn't mean anything as it's ST. A scrub player can look like a legend in Spring Training and do nothing in the regular season.

I didn't know Woody landed in NY tho. He's a nice utility player to have in your lineup. I will miss woody only for the fact that his wife really seemed to like Toronto.
