Mack On - Dustin Lawley, Matt Harvey, Terry Collins, David Wright

·         Looks like the Mets may have another catcher in the system. OF/3B Dustin Lawley took the field Saturday in full dress and worked out with the other catchers. I asked him what the deal was and he said:

 “just trying it out, buddy”.

I checked back and it doesn’t look like he did any catching in the past. He was a shortstop out of high school, switched to third in college and added the outfield before he was drafted.

·         Michael Baron was very excited about the bullpen session he watched Matt Harvey throw on Saturday. Mike knows the difference between a good pitcher and a great one, so I’m particularly excited by his comments. As interesting was the fact that he had basically nothing to say about the other pitcher throwing next to him, Jeurys Familia. I assume that means there was that much of a difference between the two of them. 

·         Well, Ruben Tejada finally got to camp… on time… and caught a rash of shit from his manager… through the media.  Boy, what a way to run an airline… Isn’t this how TC lost the respect of his players on previous teams? This season is going to be long enough and we don’t need any additional drama, especially from the manager.

·         Anthony DiComo‏ tweeted: “David Wright says he doesn't anticipate approaching the #Mets to talk extension anytime soon. Most likely will let them come to him.”  Everybody keeps saying I have this wrong, but I’m telling you… David Wright does not want to be a Met past this season if Fred Wilpon still owns this team.
