PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Hold those razors, and no need to turn the volume down just yet. As Mets manager Willie Randolph begins his second season, expect a little less George Steinbrenner and a little more Al Davis, as in "Just win, baby."

If goatees and salsa CDs help propel these Mets to the playoffs -- and Randolph predicts that's where they'll be, come October -- then he's ready to ditch the Yankees' handbook for a more relaxed clubhouse, as long as things don't get out of hand.

"Last year was totally different," Randolph said Friday in his first meeting with reporters at Tradition Field. "This year, I have a better feel and grasp for what I have and the personalities on the team. I really haven't thought about changing anything, but I'm always looking to just kind of roll.

"For instance, if I feel like saying it's OK to wear a goatee this year, I might even change that eventually. It could be music or whatever. I'm not saying I'm going to change that. I'm just saying if I feel like that, I'll do it. I never feel like I'm a taskmaster, going for the whip. I just go with what I feel for the team."
