All spring long, I had nothing but good things to say about the abundance of depth the New York Mets added this winter. While it would appear few, if any, of those newcomers will actually join the team in Washington to open the season, the organization still gave themselves plenty of backup plans when injuries or poor performance arise.
Furthering their attempt to bolster the organization with MLB experience, the Mets made two late additions days before Opening Day. They have reunited with catcher Rene Rivera and infielder Ruben Tejada.
