Chan Ho Park was pulled after 3
innings today, and the SNY and WFAN broadcast teams were both reporting
that Park is no longer in consideration for the 5th starter spot, but
for one in relief.

From John Delcos, this statement from Park:

“I see myself as a starter. This is who I am. I signed here to be a starter. I am unhappy about this.’’

There is no word yet on if Park will request a release, though he is
scheduled to pitch again Monday.  He pitched 3 innings, gave up no
runs, though the wind provided some assistance in his performance. 

Both teams did lose however today.  The B team put up a good fight however, Lastings Milledge went 2 for 3 with an RBI double and two stolen bases, both of which came in the first.  Anderson Hernendez also went 2 for 3, both singles, with a stolen base bringing his ST average up to .186.  On the mound, John Maine had his worst outing of the spring giving up 4 earned runs and 12 hits while striking out 4 and walking 1 in 5 2/3 innings pitched. The team lost 5-6.

From the A team in St Lucie, Smith, Burgos, Wagner and The Show contributed 1 scoreless inning each as the Mets fell 2-1 to Baltimore.  Feliciano gets the lost, and Sosa contributed one unearned run.  The Mets sole run came off a David Wright single, who then scored off an single by Feliciano, that was misplayed in the outfield.  The offense for the most part didn't produce for the Mets, with just three other singles.  Shawn Green went hitless and is now batting .140 for the spring.
