Fernando Tatis shifted to regular right fielder

This is an interesting move by Jerry Manuel.

According to Bart Hubbuch in the New York Post, Fernando Tatis will now be the Mets starting right fielder. Manuel will use the tandem of rookies Nick Evans and Daniel Murphy as the left fielders.

Endy Chavez has been delegated the fourth outfielder.

The youth infusion is coming to the Mets!

I'm really excited to see how Murphy handles the bigs. He's supposedly the Mets best organizational hitter, so it'll be interesting to see how he adjusts to the major leagues. Maybe he can duplicate the first day Evans had in Colorado.
