This is officially the oddest line up

Here is today's starting line up for the Mets as they take on the Florida Marlins in their second spring training game of the year. The game will be televised on SNY.

Via David Lennon...
Luis Castillo -- 2B
Oliver Perez -- LHP
Jose Reyes -- SS
Carlos Delgado -- 1B
David Wright -- 3B
Carlos Beltran -- CF
Ryan Church -- RF
Daniel Murphy -- LF
Brian Schneider -- C
Do not adjust your computer screens. Reyes is batting third. Beltran is batting sixth. Perez is batting second.

Perez will likely only pitch two innings at the most, then be removed for a pinch hitter, which is why he's batting second -- I think. I can't wait to see him come up in the first inning.

Anyone else got a reasoning for Perez hitting second?
