Well, the Mets are reporting to Port St. Lucie in droves, and
Terry Collins has begun to meet the media. Lots to discuss, but I wanted to
focus on one particular comment by Collins yesterday: that his backup first
baseman is Justin Turner, not Daniel
Murphy. This makes no sense at first glance, as pointed out by Patrick
Flood on Twitter. After all, if Murphy and Turner are on the field, why would
Turner, who doesn’t play first base, get the nod there while Murphy, who has
been a gifted defender at the position, remains at second? The answer, to my
mind, is a simple one: the Mets have finally decided to see what they have in
Murphy at second base. http://mets.lohudblogs.com/2012/02/22/daniel-murphy-2b-at-last/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+mets+%28The+LoHud+Mets+Blog%29
New Mets reliever Jon
Rauch is 6 feet 11, 290 pounds, and covered with ink. The piece of artwork that nudged open the gate
to his world of ink is gone now. “Covered up,” Rauch said Monday morning in the
locker room at Digital Domain Park. But the needle did not stop at the ankle.
The Mets reliever has ink running up and down both arms, ink canvassing his
back, ink sneaking up the right side of his neck. http://www.northjersey.com/sports/pro_sports/baseball/mets/Mets_reliever_Jon_Rauch_an_imposing_figure.html?c=y&page=1

Gorski, LHP. Gorski had a nice year in High-A (2.08 ERA, 2.99 FIP), but
he’s a 23-year-old finesse lefthander who doesn’t have an out pitch and doesn’t
get enough groundballs. A potential fifth starter or lefty specialist. Grade:
C+
The Mets won a case in federal court Tuesday. It was not a momentous victory. It will not
affect the future of the team. No, it did
not involve that other, more famous federal case, the one involving the Mets’
owners and the trustee for the victims of Bernard L. Madoff’s Ponzi scheme. This one was about glatt kosher hot dogs and
whether a vendor at Citi Field could sell them during the Jewish Sabbath on
Friday nights and Saturdays. The Mets said no to such sales even before the
2009 season began. Kosher Sports Inc. filed suit in 2010 against Queens
Ballpark Company, the team subsidiary that built Citi Field., for breaching the
deal http://bats.blogs.nytimes.com/
