Audio: Pelfrey Finds Out He Made the Team

Listen to Mike Pelfrey's reaction minutes after learning from Willie Randolph and Rick Peterson that he had made the team ... even though that probably means spending the first two weeks in the minors.

PORT ST. LUCIE - Mike Pelfrey headed into Willie Randolph's office late yesterday afternoon to finally receive the news - even if it had become overwhelmingly obvious the previous day, when Chan Ho Park was shoved in the bullpen.

"You're one of my guys," Randolph told Pelfrey. "We believe in you. We haven't decided on when or where, but you're one of my guys."

Milledge sent for X-rays after being plunked

PORT ST. LUCIE - Lastings Milledge feared a repeat of his first spring training in '04, when a pitch hit his right hand while he tried to bunt in an minor-league intrasquad game, breaking the fourth metacarpal bone and sidelining him for seven weeks. In the end, the ninth-inning pitch from Houston's Matt Albers that struck Milledge in nearly the identical spot below his pinkie yesterday did not result in a break, the team announced last night after sending him for X-rays. Ice, antiinflammatory medication and a few days of rest were prescribed.

"It's kind of disappointing, but things like this happen," said Milledge, who seemingly has played himself onto the team, despite no official announcement.

MILLEDGE OK AFTER GETTING PLUNKED
By KEVIN KERNAN

March 26, 2007 -- PORT ST. LUCIE - The Mets' grand plans for Lastings Milledge nearly blew up yesterday in the ninth inning of an 11-3 loss to the Astros, when Milledge was hit on the right hand by a Matt Albers pitch.

Milledge said the pain in the hand felt just as it did in 2004, when he was hit in the exact same spot, fracturing the hand and putting him out of action for seven weeks.

TAKIN' THE FIFTH
PELFREY IN METS' ROTATION
By KEVIN KERNAN

March 26, 2007 -- PORT ST. LUCIE - Mike Pelfrey came out of Willie Randolph's office late yesterday afternoon with a big smile on his face.

He had just gotten word from Randolph that he had made the Mets' starting rotation. After a quick chat with the media, the 6-7 right-hander said he was going to call his mother, Anna, to let her know his baseball dream had come true.
