Whats everyone thinking about the first spring training game?

Gotta wait for all the pitchers who are going to be in this game and starting lineups. You can expect most of the minor leaguers to be playing but whether or not you get players like Wright and Reyes playing at least 2 innings is big.

Kaufee · Answer

depends on the lineups/pitchers - cant wait to see em. I love spring training. If you look hard enough you can find some very soft lines

jsab · Answer

You must be  a total degenerate to want to bet the very first preseason game when guys will gey 1ab and 2 innings in max and also not knowing who the players are.

Heres a write up i had in another thread:

Tough to take the mets against tommy hanson in the Grapefruit League opener (although hes only gona go 2/3 innings). He completely owned the mets last season and last september had a game where he held the Mets scoreless in seven innings in a 6-0 loss.

HOWEVER ... Nelson Figueroa is in a tuff fight with Jonathan Niese for the fifth spot in the rotation. These pitchers are almost identical although it is believed that Niese has an advantage with his fastball and a very much improved cut fastball which generates more grounders as to Figueroas pop ups and fly-balls into the outfield. That being said Figueroa's last 2009 start was the Mets only complete game shutout at CitiField. He has been outstanding in the Dominican Winter Leage recording a 1.64 era. He led his team to win the Dominican Winter League Championship and put his team into the Caribe Series where they won for the first time in nearly 2 decades (Figueroa went 1-0 with a 1.00 era).

This being the first spring training game, Figueroa is in a great spot to showcase his recent winter succes infront of a national audience and really shine early on.
