I May Be Wrong, But… Injuries, Josh Satin, Terry Collins, Hitting

 • SS Ruben Tejada was the latest to come down with the injury bug and Terry Collins had enough with the questions from the beat mob. Hey Terry. That’s their job. They’re paid like 100th of what some of your ballplayers are paid to come to camp in proper condition. Every team goes through this every spring, and, if you look over to the right column, you’ll see there really isn’t that many people on the list. It’s going to be interesting to watch how Collins handles this season.

 • Josh Satin raised his chances of making the 25-man on Tuesday with a superb play at third base. He had to go out of bounds to catch the shot and took the time to post up his right foot so he would have both the traction and strength to throw to first. No one knows right now what the third base situation is going to be and plays like this definitely help.

 • Word from the peanut gallery is that Terry Collins was not pissed at the media. It was the trainers that got to him. Everybody is just being a cautious and Ruben Tejada complained after taking infield practice. Trainers game him an aspirin and the day off which didn’t sit well with TC. Still, sharing these thoughts with the beat mob is not the way to handle yourself in the majors. Look, you just can’t open your mouth like this publically. The reporters will tweet about it and the bloggers will get a woodie.

 • Forget the injuries and start worrying about the lack of hitting. So far, spring training has only produced one hitting story, Adam Loewen. There are obviously too many runs being given up by the pitchers, but Mets have not bunched their hits together effectively. Cuts should be coming down by Friday morning and you will start to see the regulars playing more innings.
