The answer to yesterday's post regarding David Wright's wearing number 4 in the World Baseball Classic, as opposed to his customary 5 is quite simple. Team USA manager is wearing number 5.
Today, John Maine pitched ineffectively in his second straight start. As an integral component to the Mets machine, his performance will have to be markedly better come April.

Interesting WBC Note
Weirdly enough, David Wright, who wears number 5 when he plays for the Mets, is wearing number 4 in the World Baseball Classic.
When I first noticed this, I figured that it was because somebody else was wearing number 5 on the USA team, but as is evidenced here, that is not the case.
If anybody knows the reason, please post it in the comments.

Santana Update
Johan Santana's ability to pitch on Opening Day is still uncertain. Supposedly, if everything goes according to schedule, he will make it. Of course, that's a very big "if."
If you've been watching the pre-season games and have been wondering why there are so many ballplayers you've never heard of, and why some stars aren't playing at all, it's about time you've heard: there's a World Baseball Classic this year.
