Mets Start Arriving to Camp and Put Last Year Behind Them
Pitchers and Catchers have arrived and position players show up to Spring Training next week. Jose Reyes arrived in camp 4 days early and said that he is ready to win. Reyes took responsibility for batting .205 in the stretch in September and not being on base to mount rallies. But then he moved to 2008: "We have to do it this year. That's it!" he said. Willie had a press conference and addressed the issue. "I didn't really start feeling like myself until probably holiday time," manager Willie Randolph said. "We were one of the best teams in the National League, or probably the best team in the National League last year, until we went into a funk." In other news, Orlando Hernandez expressed his desire to start and not be in the bullpen. It looks like he will leave camp the 5th starter, but anyone who thinks he can deliver 175 innings is out of their mind. He will probably deliver 100 max and you will see Mike Pelfrey start in AAA and make spot starts as well as fill in whenever Hernandez or Pedro Martinez goes on the DL. Expect Pelfrey to see at least 15 starts this year and be a regular started in CitiField. Posted by Steve in New York
