First spring training lineup from rainy Florida

The Mets will travel to the ESPN Wide World of Sports to take on the Atlanta Braves in what will likely be a rainy and wet afternoon of baseball.  Reports are that the weather is clearing up.

The game, scheduled for 1:10 p.m., will be broadcast on SNY.

Here’s the lineup the Mets will trot out…

  1. Gary Matthews Jr. – CF
  2. Luis Castillo – 2B
  3. Jose Reyes – SS
  4. David Wright – 3B
  5. Jason Bay – LF
  6. Mike Jacobs – DH
  7. Jeff Francoeur – RF
  8. Ike Davis – 1B
  9. Chris Coste – C

Due to the impending weather, a lineup change was put through.  Your new lineup…

  1. Jesus Feliciano – LF
  2. Ruben Tejada – SS
  3. Gary Matthews Jr. – CF
  4. Mike Jacobs – DH
  5. Mike Hessman – 3B
  6. Ike Davis – 1B
  7. Chris Coste – C
  8. Jason Pridie – RF
  9. Luis Hernandez – 2B

Nelson Figueroa will get the start.  Pedro Feliciano, Bobby Parnell and Ryota Igarashi are slated to pitch as well.

Don’t read too much into this lineup.  Yes, Reyes is batting third again, but who knows what Jerry Manuel will do tomorrow, in a week, in a month.

Baseball, with the weather cooperating, may be back on TV today.
