 As long as Barry can play under the circumstances which he's been able to do in the past I don't see why it would trouble.  He'll keep to himself and take some of the media pressure off his teammates.
It is cause it is such a long season that I don't want to take any chances early.  The bigger a cushion the Mets can build early the more they can space out Pedro and El Duque's starts to keep them fresh for the playoffs.
