PSL: The Parking Lot Pecking Order
By Matthew Cerrone - Mar 6, 2008 9:56 am

there are so many players in camp, from major leaguers to minor leagues to non-roster invitees, but only 14 players have reserved parking spaces…

…there are two rows of parking spaces, each including roughly 25 spots…the first spot in one row is for Carlos Beltran, followed in order by Jose Reyes, Jose Valentin, Oliver Perez, Scott Schoeneweis, and Orlando Hernandez

…the next row, which is closest to the actual stadium, begins with Pedro Martinez, followed in order by Carlos Delgado, Moises Alou, Willie Randolph, David Wright, Billy Wagner, Johan Santana, Aaron Heilman and Luis Castillo

the list appears to include the team’s highest paid players, all-stars, the starting rotation, and heilman, who has been on the team longer than any other player short of reyes…it’s true…

…the two who seem out of place are valentin and schoeneweis…valentin is a non-roster invitee, and schoeneweis, despite his strong finish last season, spent the better part of the year being booed

    Anyone who is injured should give up their parking space until they get healthy.

    Matt,

    Where do you park? haha

    Considering the state of the team, I’m surprised there’s no separate parking for Rascal mobility scooters. Or ambulances.

    haha rascal scooters. The next commercial can have Alou and El Duque on their scooters overlooking the Grand Canyon

    I can only assume it has to do with MLB tenure as well? It does seem pretty silly.

      it probably has something to do with the contract. im sure it is written into them. or maybe tenure with the team? but then why would show be there?

        just think, if only the Wilpons had opened their purse strings back in 2000, all 25 of those parking spots would belong to Alex Rodriguez, and he’d have a billboard in each one of them.

  6. shea_guevara says:

    I don’t care about the parking situation as long as they stop hassling David Wright to hand in his TPS reports.

  7. dave27 says:

    Alou, Delgado, and Duque should be allowed to drive straight into the locker room, to reduce the risk of injury on the 40-yard walk from the lot.

    bonds being a distraction isn’t a bad thing necessarily: hear me out….

    you got loduca’s remarks about players running from the cameras last year. you have beltran totally camera hesitant. and now he predicted the division, but may not produce with those knees to that high level, which will bring down some heat. instead of dealing with reporters, bonds takes them away. and bonds will hit what he hits with or without reporters anyway because if anyone has built a strong immune system against the media, it is Barry Bonds.

    i say we get him, and load him up on steroids.

    circuses are fun anyway.except for the animal abuse and weirdo carny-like folks.
