Photo By Michael BaronAfter dropping four players from the 40 man roster the Mets once again have a full roster, as they have activated four players from the 60 day disabled list. Johan Santana, Daniel Murphy, Ike Davis and Taylor Buchholz were activated from the disabled list. I expected three of them to be back but Buchholz is a bit of a surprise. After experiencing shoulder fatigue, Taylor struggled with depression and lost the rest of the year. The fourth year pro is arbitration eligible and made 600K last season. When he's healthy he's a solid reliever and would be a low risk candidate for the pen. I wasn't sure if the Mets would bring him back after losing an entire year but it looks like his chances are good since they activated him.The Mets will lose seven players to free agency once the World Series is over, which will free up roster spots for rule five candidates.

WRIGHT CAN TASTE OPENING DAY
THE ART OF VIRGINIA WOOD LICKING
David Wright comes from a long line of Virginia wood lickers. Wood licking dates back to the late 1700’s, and it’s believed early settlers learned this practice from the Native Americans. Master Virginia wood lickers rode the line between shaman and soothsayer, and
Radio Q&A: Is there any chance the Mets trade Wright?
Earlier this month, Matthew Cerrone was a guest on WHRW 90.5 FM in Binghamton.
Here is a quick back-and-forth from a discussion about David Wright:
WHRW 90.5 FM: A lot of times when people look at the salary that the Mets have tied up for the next few years they try looking at how to get rid of some of the bigger contracts. David Wright’s name keeps coming up. To me, I think...
Photo: Ruben Tejada, 2001 Little League World Series – I think this was taken last year
This photo was taken in 2001 of Ruben Tejada on the Team Panama for the Little League World Series. But, I’m pretty sure this photo was taken a year ago. The guy looks like he’s 13 now, right?
The big question, however, is what this kid will be doing next year?
Will he be starting at shortstop or second base? Coming off the bench? Or will he be traded to another team...
Work has started on Citi Field’s new dimensions
The Mets have already started renovations to Citi Field, according to people I have talked who have been to the ballpark over the last week.
They say the new distances to the outfield wall have been marked on the ground. It sounds to me like the new wall in right-center field totally eliminates the current warning track, which would support Adam Rubin’s report, and Mike Francesa...
Strawberry says 86 Mets would have beat 96 Yankees
There’s no question. You cannot beat the ’86 Mets. The Yankees teams I played on were great teams with great personalities, but they were good guys. The ’86 Mets would’ve been drilling those guys; I just know how our pitching staff was: hit this guy, hit that guy. And those were the kind of guys we were. We were mad, we wanted them to get outside themselves...

Happy Birthday Ralph Kiner!
Today is Ralph Kiner’s 89th birthday. How many people would have picked Kiner to be the last living member of the Mets’ original broadcasters?
Kiner seemed ancient when I was listening to him as a kid. He kind of reminded me of my dad that way. Neither dad nor Ralph could string a bunch of sentences together without butchering the English language. I didn’t understand how...

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Bruce Hurst was in his room at the Grand Hyatt in New York when he got the call exactly 25 years ago. Because of a rainout, Boston Red Sox manager John McNamara was switching to him as his starter for Game 7 of the World Series against the New York Mets.
