Flushing University Lectures for Tuesday 3/27

John Coppinger of The Musings and Prophecies of Metstradamus brings us his preview of the Florida Marlins. They got all the breaks last year, but Metstradamus doesn't think that will be the case this year. In fact, he views Fire Sale III as a possibility.

Shari Forst of Take The 7 Train reports on Duaner Sanchez being shut down. Again.

Brooklyn Mets Fan has the story on the Neon players that we see around Shea. He also has some words on Duaner and how the Mets lead the league in pitchers that will join the team midseason.

The Guys over at Hot Foot conduct a roundtable with discussion centering around which players should have earned or lost a job going into the season. Jason Mollica notes that Duaner Sanchez will undergo surgery. No, not another cab ride.

Gozer of Hot Stove New York reports Duaner Sanchez undergoing the knife again as the "pop" was more serious than originally thought.

John Mackin Ade of Macks Mets isn't so sure its good to keep around an unhappy Chan Ho Park. Not that it counts for anything, but Mack's got some spring training stats leaders and Zephyr and Gnat updates.

Ed Ryan of Mets Fever is glad that Lastings Milledge has followed his advice . Ed also clarifies the bullpen situation.

Metsgrrl reports on the Mets new season ticket advertising campaign and so far she thinks it stinks.

Derek Candela of MetsMerized Online in part two of his series compares Derek Jeter and Jose Reyes. This is a tough comparison of a sure Hall of Famer who has his best years behind him and a young kid with his best years hopefully in front of him.

Mike Steffanos of Mike’s Mets has some news about SI's contest for Best Met Blog. Mike also provides us with the latest update on the Sanchez shoulder situation.
