| | | NY METS: NEW YORK (AP) - Five straight losing seasons. That's what the New York Mets have produced since moving into Citi Field.
David Wright, for one, is tired of it.
''We need to start going out there showing results,'' the star third baseman said. ''The last couple years we've kind of been hampered by some contracts and payroll issues. It seems like that's behind us. At the same time, we've got those prospects knocking at the door. I think we're in a better place now than we have been the past few years and quite frankly, I think we have a better team.''
Translation: No more waiting for next year. No more selling the future. No more excuses.
It's time to take a step forward - and that means winning.
General manager Sandy Alderson seems to think so, too. After he signed free agents Curtis Granderson, Bartolo Colon and Chris Young this offseason, a report emerged that Alderson told staffers he thinks the Mets can win 90 games (with a payroll under $90 million).
Even hard-core fans found that overly optimistic, especially with ace Matt Harvey expected to miss the entire season following Tommy John surgery. New York posted its second consecutive 74-88 record last year - and that was with Harvey on the mound most of the way.
But there is reason for hope, particularly in Triple-A. Touted young pitchers Noah Syndergaard and Rafael Montero could soon join a promising rotation that includes Colon, Zack Wheeler, Dillon Gee and Jonathon Niese.
''He's got all the traits of the good ones,'' manager Terry Collins said about Syndergaard. ''He's on track to be special.''
The offense could be better with the addition of Granderson, who got a $60 million, four-year deal after an injury-plagued season for the Yankees across town. His left-handed power bat should provide some much-needed protection for Wright.
The multitalented Young, on a one-year contract following a down season in Oakland, appears highly motivated to regain his All-Star form.
''It's been interesting to watch the whole team,'' Granderson said early in spring training. ''There's power here. Chris Young has been amazing.''
The lineup remains flawed and prone to strikeouts, though the roster has improved. Perhaps not enough to push Washington and Atlanta in the NL East just yet, but the Mets expect to take significant strides this season as they anticipate Harvey's return in 2015.
''When I re-signed here, I knew it wasn't an overnight fix. I think I like that part of the challenge of it,'' Wright said. ''I want to be part of the reason why we get this thing turned around and headed in the right direction and ultimately start winning again. I think we have that ability.''
| | ARIZONA: PHOENIX (AP) - The season had not even started when the Arizona Diamondbacks took a loss. A day before boarding the plane for their season opener in Australia, the Diamondbacks learned scheduled opening-day starter Patrick Corbin had a partially torn ligament in his pitching elbow and might need season-ending surgery. Arizona went 21-8 in the young left-hander's starts last season, more than a quarter of the victories for a team that went 81-81 for the second year in a row. The Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated their NL West title by splashing around in Arizona's Chase Field swimming pool. Arizona retooled during the offseason by adding power (Mark Trumbo), a veteran starter (Bronson Arroyo) and a young closer (Addison Reed). Even with the loss of Corbin, the Diamondbacks feel they have the components to contend for at least a wild-card berth. ''They really want it,'' catcher Miguel Montero said. ''They're hungry for something, and that's a good feeling. I think last year we were a little bit more laid back. This year the guys are hungry, and that's a good thing.'' Trumbo noticed a positive attitude right from the start of spring training. ''That's the personality of the guys here and that plays really well for the course of a long season,'' he said. ''You've got to have guys that play the game right way, but play it with a little bit of a chip on their shoulder and bring it every day.''

*Mets-Diamondbacks Preview* ===========================
By JEFF BARTL STATS Writer
New York (6-7) at Arizona (4-12), 9:40 p.m. EDT
Things were going rather well for the New York Mets in their series opener with the Arizona Diamondbacks until two-thirds of their outfield went down with injuries.
The visiting Mets hope to overcome the losses of center fielder Juan Lagares and right fielder Curtis Granderson as they look to deal Arizona a fifth straight loss Tuesday night.
New York (6-7) set a season best with 13 hits in Monday's 7-3 victory, as Lucas Duda went 4 for 5 with a pair of RBIs. David Wright drove in two runs and extended his hitting streak to six.
Lagares, the Mets' leading hitter with a .314 average, doubled to give him a nine-game hitting streak, but he left in the seventh inning with a strained right hamstring suffered while running out a grounder.
Granderson left in the sixth with rib and forearm pain after running into the wall in the first. X-rays came up negative, but he's expected to be out a few days.
Lagares, though, could miss much more time.
"It's really tough," manager Terry Collins said. "(Lagares has) played absolutely great (and) he's earned that right to be out there every day. For this to happen to him now, it's a tough break for him and a tough break for everybody."
The Mets hope their pitching can help make up for the losses in their lineup, but they entered this series with a 4.97 ERA while ranking last in the majors with 21 home runs allowed.
New York got 6 1-3 solid innings from Zach Wheeler on Monday, and Jenrry Mejia will take the mound in this contest looking to improve his command after struggling with it over his first two starts.
Mejia (1-0, 4.09 ERA) allowed one run and struck out eight in six innings of a 4-3 win over Cincinnati on April 4 to overcome five walks, but he walked four while giving up four runs in five frames before the Mets rallied for a 6-4 win at Atlanta on Thursday.
The right-hander threw 101 pitches in his first outing and 98 against the Braves.
"Even when you look at as well as he pitched last year at times, he's going to throw 80-90 pitches in five to six innings," Collins said.
Mejia has never faced the Diamondbacks, whose 5.96 ERA is the worst in the majors.
Bronson Arroyo gave up three runs and six hits - including a pair of homers - in five innings of Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Giants, and he'll oppose Mejia in this contest.
It marked another short outing for Arroyo (1-0, 4.82), who also allowed two runs and five hits in 4 1-3 innings of Arizona's loss to San Francisco on April 3.
The right-hander dealt with a bulging disk that limited his action in spring training, and he said he's still catching up.
"I'm just not quite as strong as I'd like to be," Arroyo said. "Getting up there around 90 pitches, I'm just a bit fatigued. Hopefully I can turn the corner here soon and give this team 105-110 pitches and get into the seventh inning."
Arroyo has tossed three complete games in 14 career starts against New York, pitching at least seven innings 10 times. He's 8-3 with a 3.63 ERA against the Mets, though he hasn't faced them since June 15, 2012.
Another solid outing would be a big help for Arizona (4-12), which is in the midst of its second four-game skid of the young season and has lost six in a row at home.
"We're just not in sync," manager Kirk Gibson said.
Miguel Montero went 3 for 3 and drove in all three runs Monday, and he's hitting .444 during a five-game hitting streak.
