Sandy Alderson confirms Ike Davis and Lucas Duda will be on Opening Day roster.
Turns out Kyle Farnsworth rode the bus to Viera without actually being a Met ... yet. So he will not appear today. Will get re-signed soon.
Sandy Alderson acknowledged our analysis of Mejia/Dice-K situation on blog is accurate.
Alderson says Niese's status was a factor in giving DiceK a bonus.
But also said even if Niese wasn’t hurt, decision wouldn’t necessarily be cut and dry.
Was told Dice-K’s $100K retention fee is NOT to stall to see if #Mets can sign a recently released vet such as Baker, Bedard, Freddy Garcia
Sandy says Lagares is best served being in AAA if he's not starting. You can interpret that as JL in AAA. I'd say it means he's bigs regular
Alderson on Dice-K: "We either had to put him on the tm today & essentially make him a 5th starter or pay him $100,000, so we went w/ cash"
Tmrw 2pm is deadline to unconditionally release plyrs with non-guaranteed $, owe just 1/4 pay. Told #Mets will not do so with Ike (cont)
Takeaways from Alderson media session: Dice-K/Mejia situation relies on Niese health; Ike/Duda will both be on roster; CF situation TBD.
(maybe somebody should look out the window and see how Wheeler is doing...)

Wheeler was wheely bad today...any scoop on what he was doing wrong?
“Honestly, I wasn’t really that cautious,” said Wheeler, who finishes Grapefruit Legaue play with a 3.86 ERA in 18 2/3 innings. “Just my fastballs, me and Dan [Warthen] were talking about it, I was pulling off a little bit at the end. My offspeed was good. I was finishing through the pitch. Just a bad day. It’s going to happen. It’s good to get it out of the way in spring training.”
Sounds like Wheeler was just bullshitting on the mound and throwing rather than pitching......Perfectly fine with that seeing as how it was the last spring training game.....plus he's facing the Nationals next week so no need to show them everything.
