As Mets fans get ready to leave Shea Stadium and embark on a new adventure at Citi Field, questions are already circulating.

What will the opening day lineup will look like?

I have come to help calm those fears. 

The big story this off-season has been pitching.

Omar Minaya locked up two of the top five closers in baseball and re-signed fan favorite Oliver Perez. All parties involved hope that this puts this club over the top in the N.L. East. 

Turning focus to the starting lineup.

The Mets will open the season on April 6 in Cincinnati.

Although this will not be the opening of Citi Field, the club will be looking at a strong, unchanged lineup from 2008. 

It would surprise me if Jerry Manuel submits a lineup that looks different from the 2008 season during the beginning of 2009.

It is going to be up to players to have bounce back years, continue to grow or show us something special.
