I forgot to touch on this yesterday but the Mets won their opener yesterday and also came back today and won in their grapefruit league opener. Luis Castillo has been the leadoff hitter and looks very good so far, having 5 rbi yesterday and a single, stolen base and 2 walks today. Jose Reyes batting third had 2 hrs, maybe Manuel is right batting him third. The only thing I would worry about is he trys to hit homeruns, his game is his speed and you don't want to take that away from him. Carlos Beltran also homered today, one thing noticed yesterday is all the hits to the opposite field the Mets had which the coaching staff has been working on with them and Jerry Manuel said its good for that to happen early as the players are likely to say wow I guess the coaching staff does know what it's talking about.
