Watch New York Mets vs Florida Marlins Online Live Preview
Santana, more than anyone else, has given the Mets reason to believe that they're better than last year. He's charged them with optimism and erased memories of last September -- and all that without throwing a pitch of any consequence.
With new ace Johan Santana in tow, the Mets have taken a more serious approach this spring as they look to erase the memories of last season's bitter collapse.
A free-agent pickup brought in to provide some leadership, the 33-year-old gets his first big league Opening Day nod, partly because of injuries and largely because of performance.
With Opening Day approaching on March 31 against the Mets at Dolphin Stadium, the Marlins head into a new season out to prove they can once again emerge as surprise contenders. Shortstop Hanley Ramirez is just one important member of the crew back for his third full big league campaign.
