But I did make some changes Monday in reaction to some of the spring news we talked about in yesterday's newsletter as well as one big piece of new injury news that came out after yesterday's newsletter.

We spend all offseason working on our rankings for the upcoming Fantasy Baseball season, and then Spring Training invariably arrives and screws it all up. We haven't seen too many wholesale changes to the rankings in the week or so since pitchers and catchers reported,

Santana was in Mets camp over the weekend as a guest instructor at the invitation of manager Carlos Mendoza, who knows the former Mets and Twins pitcher from Venezuelan baseball circles. Mendoza recently learned via the team’s social-media accounts that Santana was Manaea’s favorite back in the day, and he made the introduction happen.

The former Mets ace has been receiving a taste of that satisfaction this weekend at Clover Park, where he is serving as a guest instructor for the team.

Frankie Montas’ lat strain and now Sean Manaea’s oblique injury are an ominous reminder that the Mets betting on a repeat of last year’s pitching success is a risky proposition.
