Seems appropriate to start this one up the day after locking down Pete.

Projected Opening Day Lineup
SS Lindor
RF Soto
1B Alonso
3B Vientos
Dan Hurley Winker
LF Nimmo
CF Siri/Taylor/Marte
2B McNeil/Acuna
C Alvarez

Rotation: Manaea, Senga, Montas, Petersen, Holmes (w. Megill, Canning, Blackburn)

Pen: Diaz, Stanek, Minter, Butto, Garrett

Not a lot of holes anywhere. I feel like the lineup can get back to working pitchers into long counts and getting into the pen early. I’m curious on Montas to see if Hefner can pull a magic trick with him. I’d also love to see Acuna over McNeil all season.

Just grabbed tickets to The 7 Line Army section at Fenway on 5/19. I've never sat with them before and I'm fired up about it. Has anyone ever sat in their section and what's it like?

Where is everyone? Thoughts on Manaea? I never really counted on Montas. With all the money we spent, is our staff already in big trouble? I would treat Senga with kid gloves all spring.

Killing time before the Hoya game tonight. Better blow those effers away early.

That said, I’m waiting for my Mets spring training cap delivery. That is pretty sharp.
And to answer, yes we are in big trouble pitching wise, and yes, we cannot have nice things. Suddenly we Are going to need Megill, and may need Butto to start.
They were kidding themselves thinking they would not need a 6 man with softy Senga, and now with Montas and Manaea out into April? Yikes.

Well, the injuries they keep a coming…. Alvarez now out 6-8 weeks. Tough break, literally. That leaves Torrens to start with non roster invitees in camp to fight it out for back-up. They’ll need To go outside the org, could they get Nido or Narvaez back? I believe they’re under minor league contracts with other clubs.
Paging Mackey Sasser….LOL.

On one hand, it’s early. I’m not concerned long term or about the season and I feel like they’ll pick up a stop gap.

On the other hand? Part of me worries about Alvarez and injuries. Is he snakebit?

He seems to be. He was swinging the bat, not even hit. Then last year injures his hand sliding into second. He’s out until June. That’s a long time. Torrens is better defensively but an auto out. The bottom of the line up, with him and (Mendoza Line) Winker is very shaky.

Their lineup 1-6 is good enough to hopefully cover for him and I think Torrens can hold the fort until June. Having McNeil, Siri, Torrens 7-9 is a scary thought though, hopefully by the time Alvarez comes back the guys at AAA have replaced Siri and McNeil

But I think they need to expect injuries from Alvarez and have a good backup going forward.
