LASTINGS MILLEDGE:

Some of these stats jump out at you.. You wonder WOW can he really put up numbers like that during the regular season? or how long is it until he's replaced and put in a retirement home.

Some of my thoughts are David Wright should not bat second, The Mets have an amazing lineup with him batting 5th. Its balanced, and there is no weak points. With Wright batting second he is forced to take pitches for Reyes to run on, and also your going to have Wright's RBI production go down, and I just feel Lo Duca is the perfect #2 hitter, and doesn't really fit into this lineup anywhere else.

All these starters looked great this spring, especially Oliver Perez who struck out 20 this spring. Mets can only hope for a big year from Perez who if can recapture his old status could become this rotations ACE.

The bullpen numbers like Wagner, Heilman, And Park are a bit off because of the slow start they got off to. They have been pitching better of late and once the season start those numbers like the rest won't mean anything. Smith earned his spot, and I feel Park will get the last spot because he has looked a lot better lately and you can't ignore his 23 k's this spring.

Lastings Milledge will come north with the team until at least mid April when Pelfrey is scheduled to make his first start. I really have no faith in Shawn Green and if Green gets out to a real slow start we could see Milledge as the RF'er.

Update:
The Mets have optioned Chan Ho Park to AAA, and Burgos has made the team. I really don't get this move as The Mets will most likely lose Park who will ask to be released, just to keep Burgos who hasn't proved he can be an effective pitcher at all this spring. At least with Chan Ho Park once in awhile he could spell Aaron Heilman and pitch the 8th inning, Burgos is more like Jorge Julio who will only be in blow outs so I don't see the point. Unless Peterson has seen something in Burgos in his last couple of appearances this is a mistake.
