Spring training is inching closer and closer for the New York Mets. Pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report to Port St. Lucie on February 15 to begin their journey through the 2014 MLB season.
Along with the players currently on the major league roster, the Mets also invited more than 20 minor leaguers not on the roster to join the team in big league camp. Jorge Castillo of The Star-Ledger provided a list of a majority of the non-roster invitees.
This doesn’t include the recent signings of pitchers Daisuke Matsuzaka, John Lannan, Kyle Farnsworth and infielder/outfielder Matt Clark.
Castillo’s list reveals a number of top prospects to be in attendance. Using the top-20 prospect list from MLB.com, let’s take a look at the odds of the top five prospects not on the 40-man roster making the team out of camp and heading north with the Mets at the end of March.
