The familiar hum of a blower on a stadium worker’s back greeted us this morning. The Big League club plays at 1 p.m. today on ESPN and there’s certainly a buzz already.

I have been chatting with B-Mets radio man, Matt McCabe, getting a sense of who could make the jump from Double-A to the Herd this season. He’s raved about the quality of both player and personalities that hope to infuse the Bisons’ clubhouse.

We’re getting set to head into the Mets clubhouse and catch up with familiar faces. Later today we’ll be going to Jupiter, FL and watch the Bisons play the Marlins Triple-A club.

More as day one continues later.
