Spring Has Finally Arrived....Well Sort Of

As we who live in the Northeast are experiencing a nice tease of the spring weather this week, Mets pitchers and catchers report for their first official workout at Digital Domain Park in Port St. Lucie Florida. While many pitchers and position players alike have already been training at the Mets complex for about a week, yesterday marked the first official day of spring training. Spring training is a great time for baseball fans, because it allows them to dream of what will come in the upcoming season. As a Met fan this time is especially crucial to me, because this is the one time of year when somebody cannot come up to me and tell me Oliver Perez pitched 2 and 2/3 innings while walking 8 and giving up 7 earned runs. My point is this, this time of year the possibilities are endless in what we fans can hope to see in the upcoming season. Spring training also allows the fans to interact with the players while they work out, and it also provides fans with a great chance to see the prospects which are the future. The boys of summer are back and hopefully the Mets will shock the baseball world and make the playoffs.
