It's kind of strange. Each nation is represented by the champion of their winter league, but that champ gets to take up to ten players from other teams:

Migual Tejada, Erubiel Durazo, and a whole bunch of retired and minor league players? sounds fun.

The announcers were gushing about how good Anderson Hernandez has looked. They said he may have been hurt by seeing how Jose Reyes has developed power at such a young age, and had been trying to do the same. But they said that the power will come, and that he should just keep doing what he has been doing (putting the ball in play).

It would be very nice if Anderson Hernandez has figured out how to hit, and if he could displace Valentin as the starting second baseman this year or next.

Wouldn't that be huge if Hernandez hit enough to win the 2nd base job...that would be some defence to watch up the middle....
|
| Edgy DC Feb 05 2007 10:18 AM |
|
Thing is, allowing for an awesome highlight catch, the numbers show Valentin to have been clearly defensively superior last year. (My eyes also show that, though less clearly.) Matsui exceeded him as well.
|

The main reason I'd like to see Andy displace Valentin is because it would allow the Mets to get younger at second base, and would offer them, potentially, a solution to that position that could last for a few years or more.

Nothing wrong with Valentin att all..except his age I suppose,I would like to think over the course of a season that Hernandez would prove to be the better glove....having said that I don;t think defence is a problem in the infield.

if he's actually learned to hit, i'd be happy for him to dismiss Easley from the 25-man roster. Valentin's defense was better than sound last year, so we should only replace him with a clearly superior hitter. The only way Anderson fits that bill is if Valentin pops a hammy.

Vic, of all the reserves who will be in camp, I think Easley is the one who will be on the 25 man squad come opening day. He is the most versatile of all the players trying for a spot in camp.

Easley's a career .328 OBP guy who hit home runs when everyone was on steroids, and has basically sucked since 1999. He's UL Washington without the cool initials. He deserves a spot on the 25 only barely more than I do.
|
| MFS62 Feb 05 2007 11:33 AM |

|
Well, uh,...., he's still versatile. LOL! Didn't realize he may have been one of the 'roid kids. Later
|
| Vic Sage Feb 05 2007 04:43 PM |
|
plus there's no reason to have 2 backup SSs on the bench, so if A.H. makes it, it'll have to be over Easley's dead body. which would be fine by me, by the way.

It's baseball but it's kinda boring...has a spring training feel to it.

Pedro Feliciano goes 3 innings for the win as Puerto Rico comes from behind for a 10-inning win vs Mexico.

Veteran Dominican seeks opportunity
Since then, Lima has gone 5-20 in the majors and has a lifetime record of 89-102. He arrives to the "Little World Series of the Caribbean" in Carolina, Puerto Rico, without any offers from major league clubs, and just two overtures from Mexican Summer League teams. "It's amazing that, with the kind of winter league season I've had, I haven't been invited to anyone's spring training," said Lima. "I've still got the arm strength and confidence to get back to the majors." Lima hopes that his performance in the Caribbean Series will be the clincher for a major league club to make him an offer. "If nobody comes calling, I'll go to Mexico," he said. "I've got offers from Veracruz and Monterrey, and I'll go there with one of them, perhaps even before the Caribbean Series ends. I've been in darker situations than this, and I've always come back strong. I can do it again." Enrique Rojas is a reporter and columnist for ESPNdeportes.com and ESPN.com

Seems to me while watching the games that when a Dominican player scores, Lima is always the first one out of the dugout, with a big grin on his face, to greet him.
