Jordany Valdespin, the Mets’ probable second baseman, doesn’t apparently care very much for cups. He should:

The Mets utilityman exited yesterday’s exhibition game against the Tigers after he was hit in the genitals with a Justin Verlander 94-mph fastball, and left club officials shaking their heads by revealing he wasn’t wearing a protective cup.

“You would think if you are starting at second base, you would be smart enough to wear a cup,” manager Terry Collins fumed to The Post after the Mets’ 11-0 victory at Joker Marchant Stadium…

Asked where the pitch hit him, Valdespin replied, “in the d–k,” adding that everything is “fine” and he doesn’t expect to miss action.

“Everything is good, working good, normally, everything is great,” Valdespin said.

Happily, that bastion of awesomeness, the New York Post, was ready with a pithy title that captured the Mets-ness of the incident:

Numbnuts

In other Mets news, this could be the team’s opening day lineup:

1) Collin Cowgill, CF

2) Ruben Tejada, SS

3) Marlon Byrd, RF

4) Ike Davis, 1B

5) Justin Turner, 3B

6) Lucas Duda, LF

7) John Buck, C

8) Jordany Valdespin, 2B

9) Jon Niese, P

Hope springs eternal, except for in Flushing.
