I'll worry about this after I see Hoppy actually play in a game this year.

It's a good point, no doubt.

A lot of focus on Kaz in the media these days. The Mets don't really have a lot of players likely to be MLB regulars in three years. He probably is, and as such is not one of the biggest problems.

How about this bizarre note from Peter Gammons' column today:

"Don't be surprised if the Mets ask Kaz Matsui to switch places with Jose Reyes next year. But first they think they can address Matsui's vision problems; part of his problem defensively is that he hasn't been able to pick up the catchers' signs and set himself."

Ummmm . . . . how was this not a problem for him in Japan???

Obviously, the catcher's signs are in English and Kaz can only speak Japanese.

Haha, that must be it.
