SP - A-Savannah: I don't know if going from James to Jimmy had anything to do with it, but if he keeps pitching like this, you can call him A.J. or anything else you want to call him... first two outings:14.0-IP, 0.64, .0.57. More important, 15-K and only 2-BB.
SS- A-Savannah: The 18-year old prospect is repeating A-ball this year, which tends to tell me that the Mets have big, long range plans for Wilmer. As usual, he's starting the season off with less pop, but his .333 batting average after 30-AB leads the team in hitting. I stil look for him to be converted to either right field or first base in the future, but probably not this year.
Parnell has nothing to prove at the AAA level, especially as a relief specialist. He's had three outings so far this year with results of 0.00, 1.07. The parent bullpen has got off to a pretty decent start, but look for Parnell to be returning to Citi Filed as soon as someone starts blowing up.
It looks like the Mets will be beginning their "let's test a pitcher" game in Queens and Owen might be the first one to get a shot similar to the one Jonathan Niese got last year. He's had two excellent outings so far with stats of 11.0-IP, 0.82, 0.73, and 8-K, whihc is a high K-IP ratio for him. Noting fancy here... just good control pitching, and a potential innings eater.
I would have bet real money before the season started that Rhiner Cruz would have been the Lucy closer this season, but the Mackster was wrong again. It's Alvarez, who, after four outings, has fnished all four games, recording three saves and creating stats of: 4.2-IP, 0.00, 0.64, 5-K.

Mack;
I have noticed on other sites, Fuller has been called,Jimmy.He is the ace so far with two outstanding starts.
Flores has been consistent at the plate as you mentioned.He said he would like to hit 10 home runs this year.I hope he does.He is a line drive hitter who hits to all fields.Although they report Flores is 15 pounds heavier this year, he still does not have the pop.
