preGame: Mets vs. Marlins
The Mets take on the Marlins in Tradition Field today.
SS Jose Reyes will bat leadoff, followed in order by OF Brady Clark, 3B David Wright, OF Ryan Church, 1B Olmedo Saenz, OF Endy Chavez, DH Damion Easley, C Brian Schneider and 2B Argenis Reyes.
Mike Pelfrey start for the Mets. Duaner Sanchez is expected to take the mound as well.
Earlier today, Orlando Hernandez threw a bullpen session using his new, toned-down delivery.
…it’s great to see endy, brian, church and easley back healthy and in the lineup…one step at a time, guys…
…all that is left is for Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado and Luis Castillo to get back…obviously, we know Moises Alou will not be ready for opening day…and here’s the thing, folks, i watched beltran and castillo on the day before i left camp, Thursday, and they looked fine…they were hitting well from both sides of the plate, they did some running, smiling, fielding, etc…and so, my guess is, if the season started today, they’d be in the lineup…however, we are three weeks from opening day, so why rush it…delgado is clearly behind then, but he’s making progress…
