Mets’ Callaway Hoping For Smoother Ride In Year 2

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Mickey Callaway’s first season as a manager with the New York Mets was … well … messy.

His team batted out of order due to a lineup-card snafu. Several puzzling decisions drew heavy scrutiny. And the banged-up Mets faded fast following an 11-1 start, finishing eight games under .500.

“I experienced a ton. I think that’s probably the most valuable thing, is just going through it. Going through the ups and downs,” Callaway said Wednesday. “I’m looking forward to Year 2.”
