Rhetorical Questions & Musings

By Jonathan Elfenbein

Just some (rhetorical and otherwise) questions to start the season with:

1.) Why are the Mets' afraid to show Johan and Pedro to the Braves and Marlins, yet the Braves weren't afraid to show Tim Hudson to the Mets today?

2.) Exactly when did Brian Stokes impress enough people to possibly make the roster? Did I miss something? I don't think so, considering I've watched just about every spring game.

3.) Why are all Mets' catchers built the same way- and what, exactly, are they feeding them?

4.) Is it just me, or does Luis Castillo sometimes walk like he's Julio Franco's age? I'm really beginning to worry about that 4-year contract.

5.) What do you think about the Mets moving Beltran down one place in the batting order against lefties, to break up the order a bit?

Back with more tomorrow...
