Apart from Tejada, it may be the least impressive defensive alignment in Mets history. Go, Terry! [list=1][*]Tejada, ss[/*:m] [*]Murphy, 2b[/*:m] [*]Turner, 1b[/*:m] [*]Duda, rf[/*:m] [*]May, lf[/*:m] [*]Thole, c[/*:m] [*]Rottino, 3b[/*:m] [*]Baxter, cf[/*:m] [*]Niese, sp[/*:m][/list:o] [list=1][*]Bourn, cf[/*:m] [*]Prado, lf[/*:m] [*]McCann, c[/*:m] [*]Uggla, 2b[/*:m] [*]Freeman, 1b[/*:m] [*]Sutton, 3b[/*:m] [*]Constanza, rf[/*:m] [*]Simmons, ss[/*:m] [*]Minor, sp[/*:m][/list:o]

wow, another CF assignment for Baxter. Did he even have a significant number of starts in CF in the minors? and i thought May was a catcher. Is he a UT like Rottino, or is Terry just seeing if he could be one?

Is he a UT like Rottino, or is Terry just seeing if he could be one? made a nice play (May) at 3B yesterday I think, so it's interesting for sure. Baxter didn't get a lot of CF playing time in the minors, but supposedly he said that's because he was 'blocked' by some other CF prospects (Will Venable, etc) in the San Diego system. i.e. he played right because that's where there was room, not because he couldn't play center.

May's a catcher by virtue of being a hitter who couldn't hack it at shortstop. If he makes the team it's as an RH bat/utility guy and 3rd catcher I would guess.

They've played May for 2-3 games at third, too. He's looked... um... what's the nice way to put this? A little inconsistent, he's looked.

We have an old-time lumber battle going on. Mets have scored in each of the first two innings, with the Braves getting two in their half of the first, after leading off with back-to back triples --- which I suspect is the sort of thing that can happen if the Mets use that outfield alignment. 2-2.

Edgy MD Mar 23 2012 11:54 AM Re: XIGT, 3/23/2011, Mets @ Braves @ Disney

Minor had been untouched in 14 innings this spring before those two runs the Mets put up. Good stuff.

Two out rally has them tied at 4-4. Bases jammed for Tejada.

And, as the Scots say, 'e groonds oot. Mets have five walks on the day and we're half-way. Take that, Mike Minor. Michael the Baptist coming on for the Mets.

You know what this outfield is missing? One more Lucas.

Two-run homer by Uggla. BOOOOO!

Two more runs and we're starting to look a little pear-shaped.

tulasosopo!

Somebody else start these suckers. I'm like 2-9 or some craziness.
