It may feel like the end of spring training but technically rosters don't have to be trimmed until after Saturday's second exhibition game. The Mets have decided to carry 10 extra players for these two games, most of them are players who will see time with the major league team at some point this season and need to get a feel for Citi Field....Pitchers Dillon Gee, Mike Antonini, Nelson Figueroa, Ken Takahashi and Jose Sanchez, catchers Josh Thole and Omir Santos, and position players Bobby Kielty, Jonathan Malo and Ruben Tejada will be along for the trip. Nick Evans, who will start the season on the roster, will be along, as will Livan Hernandez, who is scheduled to start Friday and then wait until the fifth game of the season to be activated. source Amazin Stories

With the acquisition of Gary Sheffield the logical odd man out should be Marlon Anderson, the Mets could delay that decision for a week by demoting Nick Evans to start the season and then figure out who needs to go when they call up Livan Hernandez.
