You heard the one...

...about the Japanese shorstop and the Dominican second baseman?

I came across this article on the Mets' dazzling new infield combination last week, but didn't have time to post it.

Matsui injured a finger whilst going through his infield drills with Reyes on Sunday, but he's expected to be back in business by next weekend. I dunno how the Mets shape up as a team, and my enthusiasm may well just be my annual Spring Training baseball hormone imbalance getting the better of me, but I'm looking forward to seeing these guys play.
