As you know by now, today the Mets will travel to the Tigers in the first official game of spring. Players on the actual roster for the Mets that are known to be playing today are Pelfry, Church, Anderson, Wise, Sosa and Feliciano.
They will be against the tough pitching of Bonderman and the familiar hitting of Miguel Cabrera and Renteria.
Its good to know that Pelfry will be pitching against some MLB caliber, and All-Star caliber batters today, lets see what he can do. There is also a bullpen subplot growing here as Sosa and Feliciano have their places, but Wise is trying to fit in. Personally, I would prefer Wise or Lugo to Schoenwies, but lets see what this spring brings.
