If Mather shows to be healthy and can show his promise, then it’d be a pretty good pick up obviously

Sutton brings up a good point about the size of Mather being an advantage. His long legs enables him to take long strides when running.

“People who think Chipper should not be batting in one of the top three slots in the order simply do not think avoiding outs should be a concern”
If Chipper proves to have anything left in the tank, I’d hit him second

How’s Prado looking in LF from a transition type of way? Is he good at getting to the ball? Any trouble with routes or anything? I mean in a so far sense.

For what it’s worth, Minor hit 92 with a couple of pitches that inning. But keep in mind, this is the gun that had Wagner at 101 last spring.

Yeah, a few times. I used to catch (foul tips) and have been plunked plenty. Never by a 90+ mph ball though.

I got hit in the nads (w/o a cup) by a line drive in practice as a result of goofing off with a teammate in the OF and not paying attention, I haven’t been the same ever since

After a strike out, Freeman hits a potential double play ball. Chipper slides into second to break up the DP and Freeman beats the relay out.

Oliver Perez is a nightmare for the Mets. Team hurting for money with a guy making $12M who won’t pitch this year.
