It’s Ronald Acuna Day!!! Those who own him paid dearly for him so cheers to Acuna owners everywhere, this is where it all begins! Yoenis Cespedes is hitting so bad it leads me to believe he could be secretly playing baseball injured. He has more strikeouts in the month of April than any other player. More than Miguel Sano? Yes. More than Joey Gallo? Yep. He is batting .175 with a .214 OBP. Not even golf is going to help this.

Antonio Senzatela threw his fifth quality start in seven total games started in the majors. He has a 3.12 ERA in four starts at home in Coors Field and is 5-1 with a 2.86 ERA overall. The downside is that he rarely strikes batters out, 4.91 K/9. David Price threw around 60 pitches in a simulated session yesterday, and is scheduled to throw a light bullpen session tomorrow. He could begin a rehab assignment after one more sim game

Zack Wheeler showed us last week that he can still throw a 97 mph fastball, the question now is what his innings limit will be in 2017. It looks like the Mets will send him to an extended spring to start the season and the Mets just might go with that six man rotation they are always talking about. Andre Ethier had an epidural shot in his lower back to ease the pain of his mild herniated disc and will miss the next 7-10 days, at least.
