Milledge made his debut last night in RF, batted 8th, and went 1-4 with a double. Left three runners on base, though.

Another newbie, El Duque, made his Mets' debut on Sunday.

He got the win, pitching 5 innings and allowing 3 runs on 5 hits while striking out 7 and walking 3.

He'll need to do better; if that's gonna be his average performance, I don't think that will cut it.

Five innings means probably using three relievers. With seemingly only Pedro good for 7 innings per start, their bullpen is gonna be burned out by July.

The third newest Met, Cuban import Alay Soler, made his second start last night.

His two starts so far look like this:

Code:
Date  Dec  IP  ER  H  SO  BB  E.R.A.
5/25   -    6   2  5   5   4
5/30   L    5   7  8   1   3   7.36
Not good.....
