My Mets team is insane in year 2 after another huge off-season...

Line-Up vs. RHP
SS - Jose Reyes (progressed a shitload)
2B - Kazuo Matsui (actually regressed, but I decided to keep him here to see how he did and he's done tremendously thus far)
CF - Carlos Beltran (progressed into a monster)
LF - Miguel Cabrera (another guy who progressed)
3B - David Wright (progressed so much vs. RHP it's scary)
RF - Cliff Floyd (switched him over to RF to accomodate Cabrera...he beat out Mike Cameron for the starting job in ST)
1B - Shea Hillenbrand (didn't really progress or regress but I needed a good enough 1B since I could never cut it with Mientkiewicz in terms of hitting)
C - Mike Piazza (re-signed him for one more year.....obviously he regressed a shitload but he's much better than any of the other options I have, even if he is a defensive liability)
-Pitcher Slot-

Lineup vs. LHP
SS - Jose Reyes
2B - Kazuo Matsui
CF - Carlos Beltran (90-something power/contact vs. LHP)
C - Mike Piazza (still crushes lefties)
1B - Shea Hillenbrand (amazing against LHP)
LF - Miguel Cabrera
RF - Victor Diaz (Neither Floyd nor Cameron can cut it against LHP)
3B - David Wright
-Pitcher Slot-

Bench
OF - Whoever isn't starting between Floyd/Diaz
OF - Mike Cameron
IF - Miguel Cairo
2B - Luis Rivas (originally signed to be the starter, but Kaz had a much better spring)
1B - Doug Mientkiewicz (primarily kept around for his defense because Hillenbrand sucks on the field)
C - Richie Driskill (my top catching prospect.....should probably be in AAA getting more at-bats but he's phenominal defensively...the same cannot be said for my other catching options...plus he hit his way onto the team during ST...typically used as a late-game defensive sub for Piazza)

Starting Rotation
1. Pedro Martinez (amazingly, his pitching attributes hardly changed at all)
2. Hubert Perry (some 20-something year old prospect that I converted from a reliever because he has 70-something stamina...only throws 3 pitches but one of them is an amzing 102 MPH heater)
3. Tom Glavine
4. Victor Zambrano
5. Kris Benson

Bullpen (I did like the Mets did IRL and signed a crapload of relievers this off-season and made them all compete for their spots, outside of the closer)
LRP - Abe Alvarez
MRP - Mike Myers
MRP - Francis Beltran
SU - Roberto Hernandez
SU - Dae-Sung Koo
CP - Braden Looper

Gonna need to up the difficulty a little more though...I'm using pro w/ altered sliders but I think I've finally mastered that level...
