And I'm pretty sure A-Rod's ego would not let him agree peacefully to being "demoted" to DH, and Girardi doesn't need problems like that in the clubhouse. Still, it's an interesting thought.

it was just a thought. I have faith that Wright isn't done. Remember, he had major back problems last season. Who really knows how long those problems have been around? I think, if healthy, he'll have a good season. I'm just afraid he's going to get so frustrated with the team that he backs off on how hard he plays so that he doesn't get injured.

From MLB.com today..."Mets believe they have pieces to compete."

Really?? For what?? The 2013 Draft? They are more delusional than I thought. :bh :bh :bh

He just loved playing the game. He was fun to watch as a kid.

Johan Santana threw 25 pitches from the mound a few days ago. I don't believe he will ever be the same and the Mets still owe him a ton of money. Sound familiar??? :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 
He'll never pitch the same. I guess you never know.

Reports are saying that Santana might be ready for opening day.

I think that is just Collins being optimistic.

Mets debut uniform patches for Carter

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- The Mets debuted uniform patches in honor of late Hall of Fame catcher Gary Carter on Thursday, wearing them on their right sleeves. Carter's nickname "KID" and his No. 8 are stitched in white on the patches, in the center of a black home plate with white trim. The Mets plan to wear them throughout the 2012 season.

Carter, who won a World Series championship with the Mets in 1986, passed away last month following a nine-month battle with brain cancer. Dozens of past and present Mets attended his memorial in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., the following week.

"Fred [Wilpon] came up to me before the memorial and said, 'Do you want to put these on the uniform?'" manager Terry Collins said. "I thought it was terrific. We found Sandy [Carter's wife] when it was over, and Fred and I told her that we were going to put them on our uniforms. She was certainly thrilled."

Sadly, this will be the only right thing the Mets do all year.

Maybe, with the patches, the team can channel some of Carter's energy and spunk on the field.
