Subway Squawkers: Are Mets just being Mets when it comes to Manny Ramirez?

Angels Smarter Than Mets (WBC)
The Angels aren’t going to let Vladimir Guerrero play in the WBC because he had an off-season surgery. This isn’t Vlad deciding not to play, the Angels won’t let him. They also aren’t going to let pitcher John Lackey and catcher Mike Napoli play.
Good for them. The Angels are putting the Angels first. The Angels aren’t worried about MLB’s desire to market something in March that nobody wants.
Meanwhile the Mets, who would be crazy to let Santana play (and I don’t think they will) are going to head into the spring with Reyes, Wright, Beltran, Delgado, K-Rod and maybe Santana all not in camp…..or as I like to call that list “the whole team.”
Spring is a time for team building. Camaraderie. Get to know each other. Try out some lineup combinations. Feel like a unit.
Why jeopardize your season so Team Italy can win a made up tournament? Good job out of the Angels.

Daily News on Manny
I can now focus on Alex Cora, Freddy Garcia and the rest of the other key offseason acquisitions the Mets have made. I can now start accepting this Fernando Tatis/Daniel Murphy platoon in left and three more years of Luis Castillo at second.
I figure since it’s only January, I’m better prepared for the late-season collapse. That is, of course, if this team actually has a lead in the division late in the season. The more this offseason drags on, the more I doubt that will be the case
As for Manny, I promise this is the last time I will mention him on this blog until the day he signs with the Yankees.
