Rather use him in the 8th

Not sure this is actually bad news. I think Lidge may be at or near the end anyway.

I guess now we will find out if Madson is ready to be the closer and take over for Lidge when he leaves.

It will also open up another roster spot for one of the young guys.

Chuck throwin out an interesting lineup today. If Castillo wins the 2b job, I could see this being the everyday lineup.

POPO tripled! :shock:

I've seen a lot of stuff in BP and elsewhere saying Mayberry looks like the likely RF over Ben Fran. This could be the lineup:

Victorino
Polanco
Rollins
Howard
Mayberry
Ibanez
Ruiz
Valdez/Castillo

Ugh.

by **Eem** » Fri Mar 25, 2011 14:08:21

I have not seen anything suggesting Mayberry will start in RF

Have I just isolated myself that much?

That's a split squad lineup, right?

Might be the Mets #1.

Ok, that's a bit of hyperbole. He'd be behind Pelfrey.

Has Blanton really thrown 27 pitches, 27 strikes, no balls in five innings? That can't be right, can it?

by **WheelsFellOff** » Fri Mar 25, 2011 14:36:11

Stats don't lie.

by **Monkeyboy** » Fri Mar 25, 2011 14:37:42

He's dominating.
