A seemingly healthy Jose Reyes. The additions of Pedro and Beltran are great. The bullpen may have some issues. But I think the key to this team is Jose Reyes. He needs to stay healthy. And if he does, he will be the spark and positive energy for the entire team. I love Reyes. I just hope he stays healthy.

I'm with you on that, John. I really love seeing Pedro Martinez having a good time and fitting in really well with the team. He's still such a fantastic pitcher, he's going to help A LOT.

I also like seeing Carlos Beltran take David Wright and Jose Reyes under his wing. It's a classy, leadership-type move, and it sets a really great example.

TGIB. Thank God It's Baseball.

Beyond that, let's see. Good off-season acquisitions. Healthy players. Optimism. Real honest-to-God optimism that might last into September. First time for that in 5 years.

Couple concerns: Bullpen. How do we keep these guys healthy over 162 games, particularly Piazza, Floyd, and Reyes? Martinez re-adjusting to NL batting. Was Pedro's last season an anomaly or him aging rapidly?

Fingers are crossed. Let's play two!

I agree with the injury concerns and the pen, but for Pedro, I think NL batting is going to have to re-adjust to him. Not the other way around. If Pedro makes 30 or more starts, he will win the Cy Young.

My fingers are crossed as well and I cannot wait another five weeks for the start of the season.
