Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 5002981, member: 27"] This has been an interesting spring training so far for the Mets. They started off with a loss. Then won 4 in a row.. Then lost 4 in a row. And now have won 4 in a row again. Severino, Megill, and Butto have been outstanding. Manaea and Quintana have been pretty good (Manaea had a really good start today). Houser has been bad. Kranick got hurt almost immediately and is out of contention for a spot in the starting rotation for now. Diaz still hasn’t pitched in a real game but is said to be throwing well. Hartwig has looked old all spring. Raley, Fujinami and Smith have been good in limited appearances. Diekman has struggled some. So far, I have not been impressed. Reid-Foley, Lavender, Yacksel Rios, Yohan Ramirez have all been really impressive. Don’’t think any of them (maybe Reid-Foley) were expected to be on the roster opening day but they are pitching so well they are making the late cuts tough ones. Alvarez is hitting and throwing like an all star. Trayce Thompson is making a strong bid to make the team as a fourth outfielder (sounds unlikely though). Pete is doing Pete things and playing well early. Baty and Vientos are both struggling some but seem to get getting better as spring progresses. Lindor got off to a slow start but appears to be coming on (had an HR today). Tyrone Taylor has done well early as a backup outfielder. Ji Man Choi has been good as the backup first baseman. Jeff McNeil hasn’t played. Has a sore bicep. Expected to start playing soon. Jose Iglesias has done well backing him up. Starling Marte has struggling so far. Nimmo is playing like Nimmo which is good. Bader hasn’t played much but so far looks as advertised. Great fielder who struggles to hit well. Bickford and Parsons look really bad and I am not sure I even want them pitching for Syracuse. I will feel better about things if/when McNeil and Diaz start playing in games and playing well in games. But overall, the team is looking quite impressive so far. These exhibitions don’t mean a lot but all things being equal, I would rather win a bunch of games in spring training and look good than get rocked repeatedly. So far, so good. [/QUOTE]
