The Mets may have a problem with SS Ruben Tejada.
The team filed for his visa back in November and, frankly, all the kid had to
do was pick it up and get his ass to camp early. He knew that it was critical
to work with Daniel
Murphy well before they even play
their first ST game. Terry Collins is
seething and the last thing the team needs going into this camp is another ego
problem. Oh yeah, his replacement? Jordany Valdespin, the poster boy for ego
I asked Dillon Gee what his
plans for ST were are he responded:
Hey Mack, first and
foremost I want to get through spring training healthy. Other than that I just
want to make sure I'm getting my body and arm in shape so I can be ready to
help the team from day 1 of the season. It's really that simple. Sounds boring but that's what my job is right
now, along with improving my fielding and bunting. I definitely need to get
better at that.

I also asked Joe Bonfe what
his goals are this spring and he was candid:
I have really been trying
to improve all my skills this off season. My biggest gain would have to be in
the bat speed category, I have been working with a sports psychologist on my
overall mental and physical aspect of the game (vision, bat speed,
visualization, hand eye coordination, and pitch recognition). My bat speed has
increased 15-20 mph from when we started working in November. My goals this
spring training would be to put my gains to the test and start showing more
power numbers and raising my on base percentage. Defensively I have been
working on my speed and quickness and I am going to show my versatility as a
player by showing the Mets they can put me anywhere on the field and they can
trust me to get the job done.
Joe is a smart guy and managed to
acquire additional work last year by taking on additional positions. The opening for him is 3B (his natural
position) with St. Lucie and wouldn’t it be nice to develop a 20-80 A+ hitter
here?

Alley will be live at spring
training on March 3rd and 4th. He will be taking a ton of
pictures and we’re trying to figure out how to display them on this Blogger
site. He also will be posting live throughout those two days. Let us know if
there are any specific photos you would like to see.
