There were not many people during the offseason that were excited with Green coming back to play Right Feild. Afterall, that half year with Nady went extremely well, and he seemed to be a real good surprise player.
This year I have been following Nady, because he is on one of my fantasy teams. So this might be surprising (but from the point of this article, you probably have already figured out the answer):
Who has more homers, RBI's, hits, and average?
SHAWN GREEN!
Who has one more homer, five more RBI's, 21 more hits, and hitting around 80 points higher than Nady.
I do not expect this all season, but its a nice cycle to be in right now, especially with the rest of the offense waking up.
Tonight the Mets will bout with Hill, who was and still is a very strong starter for the Cubs this season. He had a lot of trouble in last start, but I do not expect that to continue, and he should be good tonight. He did not play the Mets last year. He has one start agaisnt the Mets where the Mets hit him up for 7 runs over 1.1 innings. Reyes had 2 AB during that start and had 2 hits, and 2 SB.
The Mets have Sosa who has two starts that went into the seventh inning. He will try to remain the last Met with no losses tonight.
Im also very interested in seeing David Wright and how he does tonight. He had a bit of a streak going, and last night he went 0-4 with 2 strikeouts. It should be a sign of whether or not Wright will work in streaks this season.
