The NY Mets played @ the Detroit Tigers today in spring training. Young Mets prospect, Noah Synderguard pitched 3 innings giving up 2 runs and striking out 3 in his up and down day. The Mets won it in the 9th with Matt Clark’s game winning, 2 run double. Juan Lagares had a pair of hits in the Mets 3-2 win. NY is now 3-5 in spring training while the Tigers are at 5-5. Football’s free-agent frenzy is starting to develop and here are some people to watch out for… QB: Michael Vick, Josh McCown, Matt Shaub RB: Maurice Jones-Drew, Chris Johnson, LaGarrete Blount, Ben Tate, Darren Sproles WR: Hakeem Nicks, Lance Moore, Julian Edelman, Golden Tate, Eric Decker TE: Jermichael Finley Jets TE Jeff Cumberland has re-signed with NY on a 3-year, $3.7 million deal yesterday, NY might look for another TE in the market, Cumberland is a plan-B for NY and a TE is the least of their worries. The Vikings have resigned QB Matt Cassel who was their only productive QB last season, to a 2-year, $10 million deal. Minnesota will look for anther guy under center in the draft and market. The Jaguars re-signed QB Chad Henne to a 2-year, $8 Million deal, Henne will most likely be a mentor for the next Jags QB after Henne’s few consecutive dissapointing seasons. The Jags may pick...

You all probably know this, I am a BIG Mets fan and this blog will be written about the Mets spring training and what’s going on there… Position Battles: Spring Training is all about getting in shape for the upcoming season and Position Battles. The Mets have a couple so let’s start with 1st base. Ike Davis is my bet to win it over Lucas Duda for the 1st baseman job. Although Davis hit a disappointing .205 last season, I can tell he will improve from his average and I have even heard he tweaked his swing. I am looking forward to seeing his numbers this season. Despite some disappointing batting, I can see Davis winning the fielding battle over Duda. Duda had similar, but better numbers than Davis at the plate. If things go right, Davis will be at 1st on opening day. 5th Pitcher spot: the 5th starter is undetermined for the mets and here are the competitors- John Lannan, Jenrry Mejia, and Daisuke Matsuzaka. John Lannan signed with NY this offseason and Dice-K (Matsuzaka) was re-signed this offseason after signing a 1 year deal during last season. Mejia only pitched 5 games last season and he is unproven to this Mets squad in the Majors. He will probably land as a 2nd backup...
