Tapia and Gamboa should start te season in Savannah. Mateo will stay in the extended camp until the short season teams start and look for Gomez to open for St. Lucie.

Mateo comes with a crazy background. Signed by two other teams and then had the deals fall through because of issues unrelated to baseball. Believe it was age issues. Giants-Padres....both inked him. Crazy great stats in DSL. I guess he'll end up in short season only to build arm strength? He's seemed like he was way too good to be pitching in the DSL last season. I was hoping he'd start in at least Savannah, and hopefully get bumped up mid season. Guess not. I really hate the "developing" part of the process. I want everyone to get signed and join the Mets immediately.
