Offense Possibly Starting to Look Up

(By Brett Kahn)

The Mets' offense might look a lot better come this weekend as Moises Alou and Brian Schneider are expected to return to the Mets' lineup against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

After Alou's off-season hernia surgery and Scheider's staff infection in his thumb, both are expected to at least get a few AB's this weekend.

corrected the club Tuesday when he returned to the Alou almost faced another setback as it was originally thought that his left-ankle, the one he hurt in 1993, was the one that was causing him problems. Alou corrected the club when he returned to the Mets' clubhouse by saying that it was the right that was causing some discomfort.

With both seeing some action this weekend, the Mets will be able to finally see how potent this offense can potentially be.

Here's how the lineup could look when both are healthy enough to start.

1. SS Jose Reyes
2. 2B Luis Castillo
3. 3B David Wright
4. CF Carlos Beltran
5. RF Ryan Church
6. LF Moises Alou
7. 1B Carlos Delgado
8. C Brian Schneider
9. P
