Queens is
pretty simply this year. Daniel Murphy is going
to play every day until he’s injured again. Justin
Turner is the back-up, but only if Ike Davis stays
healthy because, according to Terry Collins,
Turner also in the back-up first baseman. It’s anybody’s guess past that.
Reese Havens will be
the AAA second baseman until he’s injured…
I got stop all these negative waves. Rylan
Sandoval looks to be the Binghamton starter while Wilfredo Tovar lines up at Lucy. The big question is
Savannah and whether or not Danny Muno begins
his switch to second back. He’s blocked by prospect JC
Gamboa so now’s a good time to begin the process.
Cory Wimberly and Michael Fisher will fight it out for a utility slot in
Buffalo while Luis Nieve may stick in the same role for St. Lucie.
Yucarybert De La Cruz, Carlos Leyva, and
Sneider Batista will remain back in the extended
camp waiting for the next wave of draft picks.

RP Brant Rustich continues his rehab. He has now
completed five bullpen sessions, the best coming on Tuesday. Look for him to be
moving on to pitching BP soon.

The Mets
reported on Wednesday that 2B prospect Reese Havens will
sit out a few days with a “stiff back”. Of course, we all hope that’s all it
is, but, a bad back doesn’t heal. I can’t recall a single ballplayer that spent
the early years of his professional career on the IR ever come back and be
productive major leaguers. Genetics is, well, genetics. Sadly, it looks lke the
Mets need to come up with a plan B for second base. Next in line would be Jordany Valdespin, followed by Phillip Evans and Danny Muno.
