BlogPM: Lennon, F-Mart, Gotay and Carter
By the way, be sure to keep checking David Lennon’s blog for Newsday, as he has been updating the site several times a day, complete with all sorts of news and notes from Tradition Field.
For instance, today, he writes about Duaner Sanchez’s and Johan Santana’s bullpen session, Freddy Garcia, Raul Casanova’s 450–foot home run, and the popular Jay Horwitz.
…i still can’t believe Raul Casanova is in Mets camp…
…also, any time i hear his 
name, i laugh, because i think of the very bad, yet very catchy song from the 1980s by Ultimate Kaos…
Also, for more on Fernando Martinez, who hopes to be in New York at some point during this season, check out the New York Post and the Bergen Record.
In the Daily News, Adam Rubin writes that Ruben Gotay is out of options, which is one of a few reasons why he is likely to make the team’s opening day roster.
Lastly, also in the Daily News, Rubin and Nicholas Hirshon catch up with Gary Carter, who believes he could have helped prevent the team’s collapse during last September.
According to Carter, who turned down an opportunity to manage in Double-A last season, he was in line for the first-base coaches job last season, which eventually went to Howard Johnson.
…in line…what is this, the throne of England…i’ll be honest, carter is starting to sound like a cry-baby of late…i get it, you want to manage…and you’re not managing…the way i understand life, though, when you’re given an opportunity to move up, like, you know, go from Single-A to Double-A, it’s probably not wise to turn it down and wait for something better…sometimes, like it or not, the door only opens once…
