The Mets have added the following players to their 40-Man Roster:
*Pitcher Josh Stinson
*Pitcher Armando Rodriguez
*Inf Jordany Valdespin
*3B Zach Lutz
Valdespin isn't a surprise; Stinson and Rodriguez are both 22 - Lutz is 24. This puts their roster at 36 (not including K-Rod yet), with essentially 3 spots to either fill or leave open for the Rule V Draft and/or Free Agent signings/trades.
I don't think any of these 4 will end up with the major league team this season, but if the Mets didn't protect them each would have been eligible for the Rule V Draft. Remember- Rodriguez is the guy Omar picked as his "sleeper" pitcher in the organization- let's hope he's right some time soon...

ReplyDeleteI will comment on these four minor leaguers tomorrow morning in my Mack Report.
