JD – I think you nailed it. Everything else is peripheral.

I agree Dan. I feel like a lot of Mets fans have been spoiled by Carter, Hundley, Piazza, and ‘06 LoDuca. For the majority of backstops, their first priority is defense, and as a catcher in my youth, I’m looking forward to watching a defensive catcher on a daily basis.

However, I do believe last year’s steady decline in team ERA had a lot to do with Maine and Perez throwing a lot of innings for the first time last season. I would expect them to be able to manage the season better the second time around. Also, replacing Glavine with Johan should help some.

Alou’s health.

How well Schneider does behind the plate and if he can the worsening-each-month-team-era we had last year. I think a catcher’s defense is something you really have to see each day to evaluate.

“all the guys coming off surgeries-Duaner Sanchez, Orlando Hernandez, Carlos Delgado, Beltran, Pedro, Castillo”

That is kind of a scary thought, although Pedro technically isn’t, but I see your point.

I want to see if Duaner Sanchez is still as dominant as I recall.

Is the scrimmage televised?
