And The Road to 2014 Just Got Shorter

The Captain is coming to town.

"Team 2014" continues to grow. For now, Kirk Nieuwenhuis will fill in for the injured Andres Torres, but let's remember that this was the way Ike Davis won his job.

Give it enough time and some veteran on the Mets will go down, allowing one of my kids to head to Queens.

So, where are we now?

1B - Ike Davis - 25-yrs old - not eligible for FA until 2017

SS - Ruben Tejada - 22-yrs. old - eligible for FA in 2017

C - Josh Thole - 25-yrs. old - eligible for FA in 2017

RF - Lucas Duda - 26-yrs. old - eligible for FA 2018+

CF - Kirk Nieuwenhuis - 24-yrs. old - eligible for FA 2018+

SP - Jon Niese - 25-yrs. old - signed through 2018

SP - Dillon Gee - 26-yrs. old - eligible for FA in 2017

Seven down... 18 to go.
