Can we all agree that if Santana gets shelled or if he pitches to perfection we will not go over board with it?
Lets look for
Movement: on his breaking stuff.
Control: how much will Blanco move his glove once he is has set the target.
Velocity: Can he get it up to 94mph?
Does that sound about right?

I am not too concerned this early with the 94. His career average for his FB is 91.7.

as long as his arm feels good, he is getting his extension, and he is smiling when he comes off the mound, I don’t care about the results.
Somehow I expect that Johan laying some FBs over the heart of the plate on 3/9 doesn’t meanhe wil be doing the same thing on opening day.

Problem is while Johan os the man and will still be good, this year we will need great from him. Coming off an injury and with declining velocity, i dont know if we can expect great.
This doesnt necessarily pertain to today but in general.

trs86
3/9/2010-1:58pm at 1:58 pm (UTC -4)
LOL, it’s spring training, why should we be concerned with hits or runs? The same as people basing the idea of starting Davis over Murphy because of 18 spring training AB’s. I would be much more concerned if Jerry or Omar were concerned.
Mr North Jersey
3/9/2010-2:00pm at 2:00 pm (UTC -4)
I agree my question is why did you feel the need to bring that up. Seemed like it was unprovoked.

“oh no!!! what’s going on with johan!!! ahhhhh!!!!”

Which brought on my question “hope no one was actually serious with their concern over Santana.”
Not to mention besides DND about 100 tweets of panic.
Mr North Jersey
3/9/2010-2:11pm at 2:11 pm (UTC -4)
Oh I took that as a clear attempt at sarcasm. Never took it as a legit concern same as me saying get the Santana for Adrian Gonzalez signs out. I must have my sarcasm radar on high my bad if that was meant as a legit concerned statement.

3/9/2010-1:36pm at 1:36 pm (UTC -4)
Let’s say Ike bats like .750 this ST with 12 HRs and 30 RBIs.. or something like that
AND Murphy still keeps his job at 1B… who gets the boot on the bench?
Mr North Jersey
3/9/2010-1:38pm at 1:38 pm (UTC -4)
? are you suggesting Davis makes the team as a backup?
DNDJohan aka kistics
3/9/2010-1:44pm at 1:44 pm (UTC -4)
yes
metsfan4decades
3/9/2010-1:45pm at 1:45 pm (UTC -4)
No. Davis should start in the minors. Along with Majia and Thole.
Mr North Jersey
3/9/2010-1:46pm at 1:46 pm (UTC -4)
I can’t see davis sitting on the bench. The popular theme is prospects need to play everyday so they can get better.
DNDJohan aka kistics
3/9/2010-1:47pm at 1:47 pm (UTC -4)
Even if Davis is hitting .750 12HRs 30RBIs this ST?
trs86
3/9/2010-1:48pm at 1:48 pm (UTC -4)
But what if Murphy is hitting 1.350089?
LOL, it’s still ST. If Davis is here he is starting not sitting the bench.
DNDJohan aka kistics
3/9/2010-1:51pm at 1:51 pm (UTC -4)
You are right. So, if he is hitting 1.350089, do you make him the starting 1B in the majors or still going down to AAA?
trs86
3/9/2010-1:54pm at 1:54 pm (UTC -4)
Most likely going down unless you can get good value from Murphy in a trade.
Mr North Jersey
3/9/2010-1:50pm at 1:50 pm (UTC -4)
DND I think being a prospect the most important thing is he gets steady ab’s so he can continue to develop. Riding the bench doesn’t seem the best way for Davis to grow.
DNDJohan aka kistics
3/9/2010-1:56pm at 1:56 pm (UTC -4)
you are right too. but my point was if Davis makes the team, who gets the boot?
Mr North Jersey
3/9/2010-1:59pm at 1:59 pm (UTC -4)
Not that I see it happening but if by chance Davis makes the team who cares who gets the boot.
DNDJohan aka kistics
3/9/2010-2:04pm at 2:04 pm (UTC -4)
Good point. LOL
trs86
3/9/2010-1:59pm at 1:59 pm (UTC -4)
Most likely Murphy goes down to learn another position I guess. Otherwise Murphy makes the team as the LH bench guy and none of the Cat, Carter, Jacobs trio make the team.
CaseStreet
3/9/2010-1:41pm at 1:41 pm (UTC -4)
Is there a reason why Davis keeps on getting starts at 1B over Jacobs?
Can we at least get to see ourselves how awful Jacobs is playing the field?
Mr North Jersey
3/9/2010-1:42pm at 1:42 pm (UTC -4)
Maybe they just want to get him some ab’s early since they already know he will not make the big club and want to just give him a look see.
DNDJohan aka kistics
3/9/2010-1:42pm at 1:42 pm (UTC -4)
Perhaps Jacobs is looked at as the power bat off the bench rather than a competition at 1B?
ceetar
3/9/2010-1:54pm at 1:54 pm (UTC -4)
Rightly so. Or Sinstrally so anyway.
DNDJohan aka kistics

What the heck does that mean?
ceetar
3/9/2010-2:01pm at 2:01 pm (UTC -4)
Sinistral means of the left, or left-handed. Jacobs is left-handed, so I figured “rightly so” didn’t work.
don’t mind me, nothing to see here..
DNDJohan aka kistics
3/9/2010-2:03pm at 2:03 pm (UTC -4)

Jerry looking on, ‘making sure his ace is healthy’.
Yup. Because that would be the worst case scenario. If he’s healthy, he certainly didn’t forget how to pitch so I’m not worried about him today.

3/9/2010-1:55pm at 1:55 pm (UTC -4)

Define Good.

metsfan4decades
3/9/2010-2:01pm at 2:01 pm (UTC -4)
Yeah, I know it’s subjective and such a small sample size – 45 pitches or so.
Maybe I should have said of our 5 starters, Niese had the best first showing….
Mr North Jersey
3/9/2010-2:02pm at 2:02 pm (UTC -4)
I was actually impressed with Ollie’s performance.
Mr North Jersey
3/9/2010-2:03pm at 2:03 pm (UTC -4)
Santana is such a pro that I am not concerned of course but you never like watching your ace give up ropes all over the place.
metsfan4decades
3/9/2010-2:03pm at 2:03 pm (UTC -4)
LOL – gotta love Ralph. They asked him what he thought about Santana’s first showing. He says, it’s not even worth watching. They’re out there working on their stuff, fine tuning etc.
He says, ‘It’s when the bell rings, that it counts’.

fromwhaticangather.com says
“By the way, Santana was pulled from the game, having thrown around 50 pitches. He was up in the strike zone; but overall, for his first start, it was good to see his fastball back around 92 mph.”
I must of missed it I don’t recall seeing any of his pitches clocked at 92mph.

metsfan4decades
3/9/2010-2:45pm at 2:45 pm (UTC -4)
Well, you know how I feel about Green. He was never consistent last year.
I know he’s been working hard this year. I heard Burkhardt comment about that saying ‘the Mets are going to need him in the pen this year’.
My question is why? Don’t we have many candidates? Or are some just as big a question mark as Green?
trs86
3/9/2010-2:47pm at 2:47 pm (UTC -4)
I guess that my problem is that I see him becoming Heilman part two. A lot of fans are already down on him and with his inconsistency it’s an even bigger problem. We have a good competition and a lot of guys who I would prefer to see over the course of the season get that spot.
ceetar
3/9/2010-2:54pm at 2:54 pm (UTC -4)
But if Green pitches well enough to earn the spot, he should get it. It’s not like most of those guys are going far away taht they can’t replace him.
I think you just don’t trust Omar and Manuel and whoever to make a wise decision, but I think you don’t (Omar at leasT) give them enough credit. When it comes down to it, they do know what they’re talkingabout for the most part, and It’s not like the non-Green options are that amazing or stand out in any great way.
trs86
3/9/2010-2:59pm at 2:59 pm (UTC -4)
I guess unless it’s Nieve, Misch or another guy out of options.
ceetar
3/9/2010-3:03pm at 3:03 pm (UTC -4)
True. Not that I’d be real down if Misch gets lost. Hopefully they do find the team that’s best without having to lose anybody though.
trs86
3/9/2010-3:06pm at 3:06 pm (UTC -4)
I would not jump off a bridge but I think the fact that he is a cheap LHP who can start or relieve and had decent numbers last year is something I would rather have than Green. Who knows? I just don’t see what they see in Green. Seems like he is very replaceable.
Mr North Jersey

“They made me work today. They were swinging right away. But I felt good because I was able to throw all of my pitches. I was a little bit off with my mechanics, releasing the ball. That’s part of spring training. That’s what we’re here for, trying to make adjustments and throw all of my pitches. The good thing is I felt good. I didn’t feel any problem in my arm. So that’s good.”

Ralph doesn’t sound like he thinks it’s a good idea for Jose to be batting third.
Ronnie agreed.
Kevin said he would think in order to see how well that’s going to work, you would think Jerry wants to see a good sample size here in ST on that. With every day Jose misses, he’s wondering if that experiment will not happen.

LOL, perhaps DND is right. Davis will bat 1.0438 with 20 HR and 50 RBI in ST.

I believe in an interview with Boomer & Carlton Francouer said Davis jokingly was said to be going for the Spring Training MVP.

If he hits 100 IP, 130 Ks 0 ERA,10 3IP saves, and somehow manages 3 AB where he hits 1 HR, 2 doubles and drives in 7?

Nope, just Rolaids relief man.

Yeah, talking about the Twins closer and his injury – probably season ending. It could always be worse. I’ll take KRod and his pink eye, thank you…..

That really hurts for the Twins, but they’ll still be competitive as always.

I am beginning to think they should trade GMJR or Pagan and go with Fmart.

Or trade FMart for AGonz… LOL
Mr North Jersey
3/9/2010-3:26pm at 3:26 pm (UTC -4)
There was talk on SNY’s Loud Mouths or Daily News Live if FMart should make the team I believe.

I asked you on Twitter with no response…but how many options does he have left? Seems like he’s been back and forth quite a bit so far. Gotta keep an eye on that number!
ceetar

can’t see that he doesn’t have options, he only came up last season briefly. He still has rookie status even.

Was watching Gameday the other day and they had the Mets down 1-2-3, moved to the bottom of the inning. Then went back to the top of the inning and added some hits and a couple of runs.
I’m thinking – oh goodie, MLB has added do overs!
trs86
3/9/2010-3:31pm at 3:31 pm (UTC -4)
Yeah, it’s terrible for ST. Obviously Cora hit into a double play on the 6th ball.

That’s why pitch recognition is so important. With the seventh ball he would have received a free hot dog.

True or in blackjack he would have automatically won the hand with 5.
