Still a little chilly here this morning, but things are heating up. The Mets announced the signing of Sandy Alomar Jr. to a minor-league contract, giving them some much needed depth behind the plate. Carlos Beltran showed up after the pitchers took the field -- check Newsday.com for the details -- and Lastings Milledge rolled in shortly behind him. We'll talk to Milledge a little bit later, so it should be interesting to hear what he has to say about the upcoming season.

Also of note, I handicapped the competition for the Mets' starting rotation in today's newspaper. Just for fun, of course. No wagering.
