Bright Spots

In what looks like a lost year for the New York Mets, I'd like to highlight a (slighlty) bright spot: Perspective.

2009 seems to be the year of the injury. But it's more than that: It is, to some extent, the year of "What Will Be."

Angel Pagan, Daniel Murphy, Fernando Martinez, Bobby Parnell: These men have all been auditioning for jobs with the 2010 New York Mets. And Angel, with his real production, may just have earned one.

And the other thing about this year worth mentioning is the carousel of unqualified shortstops that the Mets have put out there. I have nothing against Anderson Hernandez, Ramon Martinez, Wilson Valdez, Angel Berroa and Argenis Reyes.

But, seriously, are these the New York Mets or the B-Mets?
