PODCAST: Randolph gives state of the Mets address

February

Mets manager Willie Randolph said he turned the page on last season when he arrived in Florida the last week.

“Spring training is a time of renewal,” Randolph said. “It’s a time for optimism and a chance to feel something special possibly happening again.”

Randolph said:

-Jose Reyes went through a slump and nothing more at the end of last season.

-There aren’t many position battles on the team, but that could change with injuries.

-The addition of Johan Santana gives the Mets a swagger, but they also need continued improvement from John Maine and Oliver Perez.

-And for now, Ryan Church is the right fielder.

    Thanks JD for giving us unvarnished reporting. That is why he is our manager: a brooklyn boy who puts his head down and plays the game and doesn't whine about it.

    Give Church a chance at least.

Mets Poll
The perjury charges are adding up for Barry Bonds. Barring a miracle, all indications are he used steroids. Assuming this plays out where he's guilty, I believe Selig should place an asterisk to Bonds' HR totals. Agree or disagree?
