As far as the starters go, I totally agree that it's a dead heat between the Mets and Dodgers. However, when you consider the entire package and look at the infield reserves, it's fair to say that the Dodgers have a better infield as it stands, IMHO. L.A. has pretty competent players, such as Olmedo Saenz and Hee Seop Choi coming off the bench. Of course, you can't forget Cesar Izturis, who is one of the best defensive specialists in the league. Once he's off the disabled list, there will be no question as to who has the better infield. I'll put those Dodger reserves against senior citizen, Julio Franco, Jeff Keppinger, Chris Woodward, and even Jose Valentin any day of the week. [Jaydawg from Tarzana/CA] Replies: 1549 1556
