MLB 2011 Season Thread

Sounds like everybody in baseball except for the Mets are rooting for Braun now. A lot of public outcry about him asking to be taken out. Braun getting 3 hits certainly is likely, anyway.

Francesa is saying he's heard from "sources" that the 2012 Mets payroll may not be over $100 million. Given that they've already got about $80 million committed in contracts/likely arbitration figures, I can't see Reyes coming in - nor Fielder (not that there was ever a chance of them moving Ike to right). It would eat their entire budget.
