The New York Mets Manager Willie Randolph is prepared to enter his second year as a Major League Manager. Coming into the spring, Willie had many undecided dilemmas. Today all if not many of those decisions have been made...
The batting order that Willie plans to use most often will be... SS Jose Reyes C Paul LoDuca CF Carlos Beltran 1B Carlos Delgado 3B David Wright LF Cliff Floyd RF Xavier Nady 2B Anderson Hernandez (Pitcher)
The Starting Rotation will consist of... Pedro Martinez Tom Glavine- Opening Day Starter Steve Trachsel Victor Zambrano Brian Bannister
The Bullpen... Closer: Billy Wagner Relievers: Aaron Heilman, Duaner Sanchez, Chad Bradford, Jorge Julio, Pedro Feliciano
Bench: Chris Woodward, Julio Franco, Ramon Castro, Endy Chavez, Victor Diaz and Jose Valentin.
The Heilman/Bannister situation has been determined. The Diaz/Nady situation has been determined. The batting lineup has been determined. And the LOOGY situation has been determined. There is just one question left to be answered and that is, With Victor Zambrano out for a start or two how will the Mets reshuffle their starters to make this work? |
