The Mets Reconfigure Citi Field

apple-newIn an attempt to jump-start their offense, which last season was worse than anemic, the Mets are changing the height of the wall at Citi Field. Well, the center field wall at least.

Last season the Mets played with the wall 16 feet high in dead center, this year the team is lowering it to 8 feet instead. The rest of the walls remain the same. The team only hit 95 home runs last season and while the distance remains the same, 408 feet from home, the team hopes that the lowering of the wall will lead to some more offense for the club.

Presumably David Wright can't experience such a power outage again, Beltran will eventually be healthy, Jason Bay should add some pop to the lineup, and hey, there's always Daniel Murphy!

Ugh.

[MLB]

They should have used the money they spent on getting this thing changed on, you know, some free agents with some talent. I love that the mets jumped at resigning Alex Cora, but Felipe Lopez is still wading in the free agent pool...
