Prospect Q&A: Dustin Martin

Outfielder Dustin Martin, the Sterling Award winner as the organization's top player with the Brooklyn Cyclones last season, doubled off Tom Glavine in a simulated game earlier this week. Here's a Q&A with Martin ...

How did your first pro season go?

It definitely went as well as I could have hoped. It’s a tough park to hit some home runs in, but I think my power numbers were up there besides home runs – doubles and triples, RBI. It was exactly what I was looking for.

Bullpen Billy Wagner Aaron Heilman Scott Schoeneweis Pedro Feliciano Joe Smith Chan Ho Park Aaron Sele

Lineup Paul Lo Duca Carlos Delgado Jose Valentin David Wright Jose Reyes Moises Alou Carlos Beltran Shawn Green

PORT ST. LUCIE - Five days after Orlando Hernandez left a start with a hamstring cramp, he was back in action - and clearly ready for the regular season. El Duque limited the Cardinals to one run and three hits in six innings yesterday and the Mets beat St. Louis, 2-1, on Damion Easley's eighth-inning RBI single.

Hernandez entered the game having tossed only six Grapefruit League innings.

ORLANDO MAGIC
EL DUQUE HURLS GEM IN 3RD SPRING OUTING
By MARK HALE

March 24, 2007 -- PORT ST. LUCIE - Orlando Hernandez has almost found the form he needs for the regular season.

El Duque pitched yesterday in just his third spring-training outing and was superb. In the Mets' 2-1 win over the Cardinals at Tradition Field, Hernandez - the No. 2 starter - didn't allow an earned run in six innings, permitting just one unearned run on three hits and three walks while fanning five.

DELGADO EXITS TO BE WITH WIFE
By MARK HALE

March 24, 2007 -- PORT ST. LUCIE - Carlos Delgado left camp yesterday to be with his wife, Betzaida, in Puerto Rico, where she was expected to deliver their first baby.

The baby's due date was April 1, the Mets' season opener, but Delgado likely will not miss that game or others since it appears the baby will arrive before then.
