Murphy is looking better each day at first base. There is no doubt that he has become comfortable playing there and while I don't think a gold glove is awaiting him at the end of this season, I do think that he will be just fine defensively. - link
Daryl:
Signed every single autograph and took every picture that was requested. It's good to see him back in a Mets uniform. He has come a long way in recent years and it's fun to see the fans giving him so much attention. - link
Blanco & Barajas:
Henry Blanco and Rod Barajas are the enormous, which explains why they were hitting so many balls over the fence today. They certainly will provide some pop at the bottom of the order. - link
Finishing Ahead of the Braves:
You could arguably claim the Braves starting three of Tim Hudson (34 years old), Derek Lowe (36 years old), and Jair Jurrjens are better than the Mets starting three. But lets see, you have both Hudson and Lowe in their mid to late thirties. As someone who is well past his mid to late thirties, I can tell you 36, is not 26. Heck, its not even 28. It takes longer to recover. The body starts showing wear. It will be interesting to see how the long hot summer effects both Lowe and Hudson. Our old friend Billy Wagner is down with Braves this year too. Wagner is 38. The Braves have some old arms - link
