Mets Game Notes
No notes from me just yet, as I work during the day and could not watch the ballgame. Therefore, I’d appreciate it if you could please post your notes in the comments.
Duda stunk up left field in Sept 2010. The Mets were out of it ,so he got alot of at bats. In April and May 2011 the Mets were not willing to let him learn in the Big Leagues, they sent him down twice.
If Kirk works out, We will have our center fielder of the future.
Baxter and Hairston are bench players, plain and simple. Torres is a one year fix that is broken. He is not part of the future. When he heals he may find himself on the bench in Baxter’s role…platooning with Bay…and eliminating Bay’s option. Let the Star Trek refrences live long and prosper.
Never a bad thing for struggling ticket sales to have a young call-up like that hit the field, on Saturday of Opening Weekend. It’d definitely drum up more fan-interest than having Hairston trot out there.
Save him for Sunday, when they’re facing Mike Minor (LHP) — not to mention, are literally giving tickets away on Easter/Passover, etc. Not even kidding – they’re giving tickets away on Twitter, with a valid credit card number.
(Not saying this will be the case w/Nieuwenhuis, but I wouldn’t bet against it either.)
