The Following Lists are the players who will be attending Spring Training with the Mets in 2011. The first 25 players listed are my favorites to make the club out of spring training. This team will be able to compete if and when healthy because there is talent on this team, it just has not had the health part on its side since 2006..

The Mets have alot of interesting pieces in camp this year. From new pitchers, Chris Young and Chris Capuano to the Non-Roster Invites of Willie Harris to Taylor Tankersly, Sandy Alderson has put some pieces in place and in one week, we will begin to see what the 2011 NYM team will look like. Spring time is one of my favorite times of the year, and when the sun starts getting warmer and the days get longer, it only brings optimism of a splendid 2011 basball season for my favorite team, The New York Mets.
Heres to a competitive, fun, and entertaining season in 2011!
