Jon Heyman wrote yesterday that the Mets had 3 plans. First I’ve heard about that. Maybe Heyman is able to talk to Met sources in a way that others are unable to.

During the season, the guys who cover the team on a daily basis often fall into group think, and the same storyline gets advanced. The writers are together at the ballpark. They talk. The one’s who cultivate sources best, get the best stories. A recent example is the Daily News’ Adam Rubin who first began reporting the Tony Bernazard follies.

The three NY tabloids roll the same way. Ultimately it’s all about the back page. Writers from those three probably don’t many friends among the Mets’ brain trust right now. Maybe Heyman does and it’s why SI.com got the little blurb about the three tiered plan. I’d watch for Marty Noble right now, too.
