Amidst all the "ste-Rod" controversy, it appears as though everyone decided to ditch their Sunday section articles on the Mets. Both Adam Rubin of The Daily News and Bart Hubbuch of The Post point out the similarities of the 2008 and 2009 teams. They set out key questions that will need to be answered in order to overcome 2008's collapse.Over at The New York Times, Ben Shipgel analyzes the dimensions of Citi Field in comparison to those of Shea. There is a great graphic that shows those on the team last year that should have increased difficulty this season when hitting it into the power alleys. Most notable on the list would be David Wright and Carlos Delgado. I'm not so concerned with Carlos as when he puts it out, he does it with authority. David's shots to left-center might run into trouble this season as the wall is 15 feet high compared to Shea's old 8-foot wall.
