My point being that he used to be, so hopefully he can still get both sides out.

Maybe an 8th inning guy. He can split time there with Parnell and Parnell can go between 8th inning and 9th inning.

Hopefully he can still do it.

Izzy potentially replaces Cap in the pen. O’conner is a possibility too.

Matt Cerone says today that he talked to people in camp and Mets officials that Brad Emaus has the front ruuning lead for 2nd base. Emaus who yesterday according to David Lennon in Newsday looked bad on a play that went through his legs as he didnt even attempt to bend down with his glove to get the ball an error and Run produced. Is this what kind of play Terry wants? Lazy play.

They both will probably get pulled late for Hu.

If Havens stays healthy, we’ll probably be hearing about about him by ASB anyway, so this all probably moot.

Anything about his play at 2B which is what is the most important thing for him right now since thats where he is most likely going to play!

He will make the team so all the Murphy fans can rest easy but I don’t think we will see him as the everyday 2B early on.

Maybe a platoon situation at first until he gets more comfortable or maybe a late inning pinch hit replacement on days he doesn’t start there.

Besides, both Evans and Hairston are right handed batters. Harris should be safe since he bats lefty.

I would rather have Izzy and experience over Buchholz or Byrdak. Not saying they don’t have experience but Izzy has been much more successful.

How has he struggled? He has a team leading four doubles, and also four RBI’s, and a .286 BA. Defensiveley he has no errors, has played what was described as an great 3B, and was on the end of two double plays yesterday while playing 1B.

So either Harris or Evans is not making the team.
