The New York Mets begin a three game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks tonight at Citi Field. They will be trying to win two games in a row. The Mets finally won their second game of the season at home yesterday, they are 2-8 there this season. Here are some quick notes and the lineup for tonight.
Mets Lineup: Jose Reyes, Daniel Murphy, David Wright, Carlos Beltran, Jason Bay, Ike Davis, Mike Nickeas, Jason Pridie, Mike Pelfrey.
The Mets didn't place Angel Pagan on the DL yet but it is 95 percent likely according to manager Terry Collins. Jason Pridie is taking his spot for now. Collins said he will see how things go for playing time in center field.
The reason the Mets brought up Pridie is because they wanted the best defensive outfielder at AAA. Carlos Beltran is not a consideration for center field while Pagan is out.
Daniel Murphy is playing against a lefty tonight because he is the best number two hitter they have. Murphy will become the everyday second baseman if he keeps hitting in my opinion. He is who they really wanted all along he just needed to do some things to play.
Chris Young will throw a bullpen session tomorrow and if everything goes well he will pitch on Tuesday. If Dillon Gee pitches well tomorrow the Mets could keep him in the rotation.
