What is Jordany Valdespin? (Derespina, Newsday).

Can it be too cold to play baseball? (Kerwick, Bergen Record)

These five players could wind up being promoted to the Mets this season (Las Vegas Sun).

Mike Pelfrey holds no ill-will for the Mets (Rubin, ESPN New York).

Michael Baron, MetsBlog.com:

Personally, I wish nothing but the best for Pelfrey. Perhaps a change of scenery is precisely what he needs, as it just didn’t work out here for him in New York, despite a lot of hope and hard work. I’m glad he has overcome his elbow injury and is pitching so soon after surgery – he had Tommy John Surgery less than a year ago, and recovery from that is usually between 12-18 months.

Ike Davis is looking forward to returning to Minnesota (Puma, NY Post).

There are no more alibis for Davis’ early season slump (Meyers, ESPN New York).

Matt Harvey is a fan of the Rangers, and the Rangers are fans of Matt Harvey (Rieber, Newsday).

Speaking of Harvey, he received high praise from the Phillies this week (Keh, NY Times).

The Mets continue to search for a solution out of the leadoff spot (Castillo, Star Ledger).
