In his short tenure with the Mets, the veteran Alou has been impressed by the team's defense and doesn't think it's a fluke.
"This is the hardest working team I've ever been around," Alou said. "You look around the clubhouse after the game and no one is in here, because they are all working out or doing something to get better."
Even harder than McGraw's Giants squads? That's high praise from someone who's been in the league since the Christy Matthewson era.

This combination of hard work ethic + relaxed clubhouse atmosphere is very rare in baseball.. Yankees have first but not second. I think a lot of credit for this goes to Randolph's management style, as well as front office specifically considering fit with team when looking at players to acquire..
