The Mets are gambling Cliff Floyd’s Achilles tendon won’t snap for at least two more weeks. They named their NLCS roster this morning and he’s on it. But, if the field is wet, bet on Endy Chavez starting and Floyd being used as a pinch hitter.
The Mets went from 12 to 11 pitchers, dropping left reliever Royce Ring and
adding infielder Anderson Hernandez.
Here’s the breakdown:
PITCHERS (11): Chad Bradford, Pedro Feliciano, Tom Glavine, Aaron
Heilman, Roberto Hernandez, John Maine, Guillermo Mota, Darren Oliver,
Oliver Perez, Steve Trachsel, Billy Wagner.
CATCHERS (2): Paul Lo Duca, Ramon Castro.
INFIELDERS (7): Carlos Delgado, Julio Franco, Anderson Hernandez, Jose
Reyes, Jose Valentin, Chris Woodward, David Wright.
OUTFIELDERS (5): Carlos Beltran, Endy Chavez, Cliff Floyd, Shawn Green,
Michael Tucker.

Really, congrats to Anderson Hernandez…
and im happy to see cliff on there…pinch hitting duties hopefully?
maybe a kirk gibson moment? (i can use that reference now, considering we bumped them off!)
AV …
That’s how I see it for Floyd … A Gibson moment. Endy Chavez’s defense will become more important because it’s harder to score in the NLCS.

we can only hope for a gibson moment…
or a re-enactment of the cubbies game with the 11 run inning…
