It's only fitting that just as I'm completing this post the only left handed candidate still in camp (aside for Feliciano who's a lock) has his first rough outing. Ron Villone has been the front runner to make the pen since signing, if the team decides to carry two left...

Dan Murphy - $401,000 (Will get close to 425 AB this season barring a disaster.)

With two weeks left in camp a lot can happen but as of right now it appears that Nick Evans will make the team. How long he stays is a whole other story, whether he becomes a permanent fixture on the bench or just a one week pat on the back still has to be decided. Four spots on the...

If I was making the bench it would be; Ramon Castro, Alex Cora, Fernando Tatis, Jeremy Reed and Bobby Kielty. As discussed I would bring along Nick Evans for the first week and then send him down to AAA. I know Evans has a reputation as an above average 1B but so far this spring he...

I understand that Raul Ibanez was the face of the Seattle Mariners because he was such a great clubhouse guy and that he will hit consistently for .280 the entire year instead of running hot/cold like many Mets hitters. But obtaining another left handed bat who's a defensive liability...

Joel Sherman of the NY Post believes that the bench is all but finalized except for the very last spot.
He surmises, and correctly I might add, that Ramon Castro, Fernando Tatis, Alex Cora and Jeremy Reed have all secured spots on the Opening Day roster.
He further believes that the...

The Mets set out what they wanted to do all along, by revamping a dreary bullpen that blew 29 saves in 2008. The Mets smashed up the bullpen of '08 and now they have some new faces, something they did not do in the '07 off-season.
The Mets fans should be proud of what...

In many ways, the battle for bench and bullpen spots have been the most compelling of the spring for the Mets, particularly since no one really seemed inclined to battle Livan Hernandez all that hard for the fifth starter's job.

Now that the Marlins have traded for 2B Emilio Bonafacio, it could very well mean that Dan Uggla's time is up in Marlin land..
Dan Uggla would be perfect for the Mets. He is young, gritty, and a right handed bat that hits for power and he does not make a lot of money. It would...
