Technically open spots: three rotation spots, two bullpen spots, two bench spots.
I will try to update this list (and prune it, hopefully) a couple of times a week as more games are played and these guys start emerging as studs or duds.

---|---|---|
Jon Adkins, RHP |
|
Didn't do anything to distinguish himself in Wednesday's spring opener. |
Adam Bostick, LHP |
![]() |
Came to Mets from Marlins in Lindstrom/Owens trade. Has never pitched in the bigs, look for him to continue that trend in 2007. |
Ambiorix Burgos, RHP |
![]() |
Plenty of arm, but does he know where it's going? |
Marcos Carvajal, RHP |
|
Snagged off waivers from TB, probably won't be Queens bound in April. |
Philip Humber, RHP |
|
Probably lower on the depth chart than Mike Pelfrey. |
Chan Ho Park, RHP |
![]() |
Hasn't pitched yet, but also hasn't given up four runs in two innings. |
John Maine, RHP |
![]() |
The only way he doesn't make this club is if he breaks his arm. |
Mike Pelfrey, RHP |
![]() |
Needs Park to really stink up the joint this spring. |
Oliver Perez, LHP |
|
As for his spring debut, Willie was not impressed. |
Alay Soler RHP |
|
Wasn't terrible on Wednesday, but needs some help to make the team. |
Jorge Sosa, RHP |
|
He pitches like Sammy Sosa tells the truth to Congress. |
Jason Vargas, LHP |
|
Hasn't done anything yet. |
Damion Easley, IF |

1-for-2 with a single in the spring opener. |

Two at-bats, two IPORs. AHern is picking up right where he left off. |
Ben Johnson, OF |

Lost a ball in the sun the other day, but went 2-for-3 with a double and two runs on Wednesday. |
Lastings Milledge, OF |

Impressing so far with his arm and his attitude. |

![]() |
SEE: Waste of space. |

Key:
