The Mets will soon start an intrasquad game on Field 7.

To check out the starting lineups, go to Newsday.

…i’d be willing to bet that somewhere, some place, there is a fan who is seriously annoyed with how Willie Randolph chose to make out his intrasquad lineup

In a report for the Star-Ledger, Jeremy Cothran catches up with Matt Wise, who is competing for a spot in the team’s bullpen.

According to Jerry Crasnick at ESPN.com, the Red Sox have signed Bartolo Colon to a minor-league deal.

…which must mean that teams like the Mets, White Sox and others, who scouted him for months and checked in on his medical records, all decided he was not even worth that, let alone the two-year deal he had been rumored to be seeking…

In the Bergen Record, Steve Popper wonders if Orlando Hernandez is ‘damaged goods.’

…yes…he is…which is not to say he can’t be effective…but, if i’m Mike Pelfrey, i never let up this spring

Lastly, at his blog for the Daily News, Adam Rubin has posted Johan Santana’s photo from this year’s Mets Cook Book.
