The Mets have begun their second intrasquad game of the season today before they head to Fort Lauderdale to take on the Orioles tomorrow.
This time the lineups are essentially major league starters (minus Schneider) vs bench players/minor leaguers.
The major league lineup looks like this:
Luis Castillo, 2B
Jose Reyes, SS
Carlos Beltran, CF
Carlos Delgado, 1B
David Wright, 3B
Ryan Church, RF
Daniel Murphy, LF
Omir Santos, C
Fernando Martinez, DH for both teams
Interesting lineup, one we've never seen before. Manuel is holding to his thinking of having Castillo leadoff to get him jump started.
Anyway, the Mets have shaken the rust off their bats. Beltran and Wright have both hit home runs, and Reyes and Pagan have each hit an opposite-field double.
John Maine, JJ Putz, and Freddy Garcia have all pitched. Oliver Perez and Rule 5 pick Rocky Cherry are also scheduled to pitch.
Check out MetsBlog for some great videos and pictures from the game. There is a video of Garcia warming up in the bullpen, and he looks terrible to me. Hopefully it was at the very beginning with him just getting loose.

Mets v.s. Mets: Intrasquad Game
Adam Rubin of the Daily News was providing live updates of the intrasquad game from Tradition Field, but he stopped after the fifth inning.
Jerry Manuel stood in shallow centerfield, right in the middle of the action, to get a good look at the game. The other coaches sat in folding chairs behind a screen near homeplate.
The game was still scoreless through five. However, the top of the third was ended early due to Nelson Figueroa reaching a certain pitch count. The bases were loaded with one out when the inning was halted.
Just two hits had been recorded- a Nick Evans single and a Fernando Martinez infield single.
Jon Niese went two perfect innings with two strikeouts.
There were a couple of broken bat groundouts and quite a few strikeouts. The lack of offense is likely due to the fact that these guys haven't seen live pitching in a few months. They're working their way back into the groove.
According to Matt Cerrone at MetsBlog, most of the everyday players had been removed from the game by about 1 pm. He even saw Luis Castillo taking extra batting practice in the cages after he came out of the game.
