Mets manager Willie Randolph was none too pleased with Philly fans reaction to Jose Reyes possible injury during last night’s game. Jack Curry of the NYT Bats Blog has Willie’s quote,
“That was Philadelphia, the fans, in general,” Randolph said. “We live in this culture where fans are that way. They make their feelings known and they love to hate. It was sad. It really is. The guy could have been hurt.”
On a different topic John Delcos of Lohud Mets Blog talked to a scout about Oliver Perez. Delcos asked the scout, might Perez’s value increase if Indians pitcher C.C. Sabathia continued to struggle?
“No,” he said. “He’s still Oliver Perez. He’s never going to me more than a No. 3 pitcher.”
A number three starter that wins 15 games? Buy’em!
Note: Bart Hubbuch at NY Post Mets Blog says Moises Alou may rejoin the Mets within days.
In an extended spring training game in Vero Beach today, Alou went 2-for-5 and was hit by a pitch. Alou was able to play five innings in the outfield.
