Excited for Spring, Rooting for the Mets
20 Days until Pitchers and Catchers and Injured Players report to Port St. Lucie.Ā Iām excited.Ā To me, itās hard not to be.Ā Itās still Mets baseball, and no matter how you feel about the Wilpons, the front office, or the team, there are still fun games to be played this season and fun players to watch.
Johan Santanaās due to make 33 or so starts, and every one of those games is worth watching.

Jose Reyes is reportedly healthy and is always a joy to watch play the game. Heās due to be out there on the field at least 155 games or so.
David Wright, Jeff Francoeur, and Daniel Murphy may have varied amounts of upside or talent, but all three of them play their hearts out.Ā You canāt ask for more out of a baseball player.Ā You can truly believe that these guys want to win at least as much as you want them to.

Exciting rookies like Josh Thole, Jonathan Niese, Fernando Martinez, and maybe even Ike Davis are candidates to make appearances this year.Ā Itās always fun to watch homegrown guys try to break out and become major leaguers.
You may be down on Mike Pelfrey a little, but heās going to work out to do better this year.Ā Heās still a young, talented, homegrown pitcher who will hopefully have a bounce back type season, and there is a good chance we see Niese come up and pitch this year.
The 2010 season wonāt be won in January, it wonāt be won on paper, and when April 5th comes and the Mets take the field, theyāll do so tied for first place.Ā This is small consolation right now, but anything can happen.Ā There is still time for a trade to happen for another pitcher.Ā Itās entirely possible that one of the Mets starters has an excellent season and pitches great to compliment Santana.
The offense isnāt bad, and itās entirely possible that Beltran is back and healthy by May and Francoeur continues his resurgence and everyone plays well.Ā If some of these things happen, the Mets will be extremely competitive, and rather than berate the players I think will fail, Iām going to focus on rooting for them to succeed.Ā Isnāt that the point of being a fan?
