That means David Wright (1 - 5, 1 RBI last night) and JJ Putz (DNP) are on their way back to camp completing the Mets roster for the remainder of Grapefruit League play. I'm sure David is going to hear it from everyone about his canoodling with Jimmy Rollins over the course of the tournament. Glad everyone is back though and more importantly without serious injury. That's not all folks. There is no more need to worry about MRI's or ruptured triceps tendons. In case you missed it, Johan Santana is officially on point. In 5 innings yesterday, Johan struck out 7 and allowed only 2 hits, one of which was a solo shot to left off the bat of Matt Diaz. He hit 93 on the gun a few times and located all his pitches extremely well through the first 4 frames. They stretched him out to 75 pitches and he seemed tired during the last 8 - 12 leaving the ball up a few times while topping out at 89 on the fastball.
The most important part of the outing is that he feels good and he got stretched out. To my understanding this means he will get 2 more starts, one against Washington on the 
27th and the other against St. Louis on April Fools Day. If all goes well our ace will be stretched out and ready to go by Opening Day. Lets hope the rest of the rotation can get sorted out now.

This all before our poster boy has even takes the field. Anybody with thoughts on Murphy hitting in the 2 spot? I don't like Castillo 8th, but I do like Murphy 2nd. Where do you think the order is headed?
