It has been pretty uneventful
overall as Yoenis Cespedes daily car choice is the big story around the Mets. The Mets will begin their grapefruit league
schedule on Thursday. Hall Of Famer Mike
Piazza arrived in Mets camp on Sunday and will stick around a few days. Zach Wheeler threw off a mound for the first
time since his Tommy John surgery over the weekend.
The Mets have announced their
pitchers for the first couple of spring training games. They will be Rafael Montero on Thursday and
Logan Verrett on Friday. The Mets will
also play an intrasquad game tomorrow and Sean Gilmartin and Robert Gsellman
will start in that game.
Terry Collins said Eric Campbell
has a legit change to make the club because of his versatility and Wilmer
Flores will be getting exposure at both first and third base as it looks like
he can be a super utility player for the Mets.
To go along with that, there is a chance that Ruben Tejada may not make
the 25 man roster coming out of spring.
Mets pitching coach Dan Warthen
said that pitcher Matt Harvey has the potential to be the best pitcher in
baseball. I am not sure if that is
exactly breaking news as I think most feel very highly about him as long as he
is healthy.
Curtis Granderson left the ballpark
on Monday due to an eye issue the Daily News was reporting. He was wearing glasses in the morning and
went to the doctors for a diagnosis. The
Mets manager said he could be dealing with pinkeye but the team isn't sure yet. Stay tuned for more news on this on
Tuesday.
Matt Harvey is looking good early
in camp and poised for a big season it appears.
