So, Mets fan, what do you think so far? Who should get roster spots? Do you think I left a player out, let me know and I will look into them.


I like the stats comparison. I think you must add Mejia for 5th starter and bullpen. Also, Tejada for bench. They are both doing well, despite being so young. If you're going to add Ike Davis, you need to add at the very least Mejia, who they are so high on and may keep on the roster. I've written an article on Bleacher Report and my blog about these battles. Check it out. You may like it. "Position battles may help youngsters". Good article as is this one.
