Adam Rubin at Surfing the Mets writes about today's batting practice:

The best place to be around 11:45 a.m. today will be Field 5. Due to throw batting practice are Billy Wagner, John Maine and prospect Brant Rustich. The batters: Jose Reyes, Luis Castillo, Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado and Endy Chavez.

“You pitch to those guys, you can pitch to anybody,” Maine said as he read the schedule on the bulletin board this morning in the clubhouse.
