2008 Edition, Volume 2. I'll post an updated list once a week or so as circumstances encourage me to do so.
| Player, Position |
 
|
Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Michel Abreu, 1B |
|
Carlos Delgado's hip impingement can only help Abreu's cause. |
| Tony Armas, RHP |
|
Still having visa problems. |
| Adam Bostick, LHP |
|
Good: pitched a scoreless inning. Bad: still allowed three baserunners. |
| Robinson Cancel, C |
|
One of seemingly nineteen catchers in camp. The numbers are not in his favor. |
| Raul Casanova, C |
|
Hasn't played yet, might not at all considering all of the backstops the Mets have in Florida. |
| Brady Clark, OF |
|
Injuries to Endy Chavez and Ryan Church are good news for Clark. |
| Andy Cavazos, RHP |
|
Hasn't pitched yet aside from last week's intrasquad game. |
| Willie Collazo, LHP |
|
Four runs allowed in two innings is going to get you noticed, but not in a good way. |
| Ryan Cullen, LHP |
|
Hasn't pitched yet, might not even be in camp. |
| Joselo Diaz, RHP |
|
Just one baserunner -- a walk -- in two innings of work. |
| Nate Field, RHP |
|
A couple of scoreless innings, but he may have to do something to distinguish himself from the pack. |
| Nelson Figueroa, RHP |
 |
No baserunners and a couple of strikeouts in three scoreless innings so far. |
| Ruben Gotay, IF |
|
His right ankle doesn't look good. Goes for a CAT scan on Tuesday. |
| Anderson Hernandez, IF |
|
His 17 at-bats are second on the team, but he still can't hit a lick, even in spring. Gotay's injury could open a spot for utility infielder. |
| Ben Johnson, OF |
|
Hasn't played yet; might find this site useful given the circumstances.. |
| Eddie Kunz, RHP |
|
Gave up a run in an inning of work. He's just eye candy at this point. |
| Ruddy Lugo, RHP |
|
Two innings, two runs, three hits, three walks, four strikeouts. Dude likes the crooked numbers. |
| Anderson Machado, IF |
|
A double, a triple, a walk. Not bad so far. |
| Salomon Manriquez, C |
|
Should probably pack it in. |
| Fernando Martinez, OF |
|
Gaudy .429 on-base percentage in limited action so far. |
| Gustavo Molina, C |
|
I have no idea what he's doing here. |
| Carlos Muniz, RHP |
|
Losing the numbers game. |
| Mike Nickeas, C |
|
See: Gustavo Molina. |
| Jon Niese, LHP |
|
Looked sharp in his start the other day. |
| Juan Padilla, RHP |
|
Hasn't pitched yet; who knows if he ever will. |
| Angel Pagan, OF |
|
Injuries to the outfield corps may help Pagan make the team out of spring training, at least while the rest of the outfield heals up. |
| Robert Parnell, RHP |
|
Nice outing last week; the Mets like his stuff. |
| Mike Pelfrey, RHP |
|
Looked pretty good yesterday, and El Duque's withering cortex will probably help Pelfrey make the team. |
| Steven Register, RHP |
|
Like a lot of guys in camp, Register has looked good in limited work this spring. |
| Ricardo Rincon, LHP |
|
Three strikeouts in a couple of innings so far. |
| Brant Rustich, RHP |
|
And back to the minors in three... two... one... |
| Olmedo Saenz, 1B |
|
Nothing yet. Could help the Mets if Delgado isn't ready to go by opening day. |
| Joe Smith, RHP |
|
Three runs allowed in a couple of innings; if he keeps pitching like this the Mets will have a hard time justifying his spot on the roster considering all of the other arms in camp. |
| Brian Stokes, RHP |
|
A couple of scoreless innings so far. |
| Fernando Tatis, IF |
|
Still having visa problems. |
| Jose Valentin, IF |
|
Still hurt. |
| Jason Vargas, LHP |
|
Pitched a scoreless inning on Monday. |
| Matt Wise, RHP |
|
The last middle relief spot is his to lose. |
Key:
-- = Chance of making the team is even.
= Chance of making the team is going down.
= Chance of making the team is going up.
