Last week, New York Post columnist Mike Puma reported the front-runner in the Mets' 2nd base competition was not Brad Emaus, but Luis Hernandez. Needless to say, he was wrong. After everyone's favorite ginger Justin Turner was sent to AAA yesterday, it is now clear to everyone that Emaus is the favorite to win the gig. Except that wouldn't be news. Today, Puma is up to his same ole malarkey.
Citing no sources, and give zero evidence, Puma has managed to create conflict out of an absolute non-story. Maybe he's too stubborn to admit that he was wrong last week, or maybe he's just trying to sell papers. Either way, the story doesn't (or at least shouldn't) have an ounce of relevance.
In the spirit of Mike Puma, I will give this style of journalism a shot...
With only 8 spring training games left before opening day, my sources (my imagination) tell me that a new candidate has emerged in the race for 2nd base. Willie Harris is in line to be the Metropolitan's opening day 2nd basemen. This opens up an entirely new competion for the fifth bench spot, which is believed to be a battle between Nick Evans, Lucas Duda, and Jason Isringhausen.
Boom! Run with that Met fans!
