A modest proposal for Friday's lineup
I know the Mets' lineup has been a hotly debated subject only a month into the season, but Jerry Manuel should make a few tweaks for the start of this homestand. After experimenting with Jose Reyes in the No. 3 spot - a move I was in favor of - I say put him back atop the lineup and make the following adjustments for tomorrow night's series opener vs. the Giants.
Jose Reyes - SS
Luis Castillo - 2B
Angel Pagan - CF
David Wright - 3B
Jason Bay - LF
Ike Davis - 1B
Jeff Francoeur - RF
Rod Barajas - C
Mike Pelfrey - SP
