Don't take a poor showing as an issue. Given Maine's objective fans should not be surprised by a so-so outcome. Don't take a poor showing as an issue.

Personally, I'm a big fan of Jorge but I hate Show with every ounce of life in me. Despite some doubters saying the pen will be the Mets' downfall, I'm pretty confident we'll have a solid group going into the season. Heilman, Feliciano, Wagner, Wise--Kuniz can definitely make an impact this season, and if Smith gets his head in order he's another weapon--Sosa (if we keep him), and Pelfrey (if Duque is healthy enough to start and he doesn't start in Bing), or even Duque (if he finds a way to pitch out of the pen without pain). So if Omar is in fact shopping Sosa & Show, would we be looking for another RP or possibly a back-up 1B?

I seem to remember him working the ball in and our more last year. He also had a decent change when he was throwing it well. Truth be told, I'm not a big fan of his slider. Let's hope he's worked on it over the off season. It almost looked like Maine added a cutter to go along with his rising fastball last year.
