One final piece of business:

The Mets roster seems to be pretty much finalized, but I think they need to make one small addition. As I pointed out back in December, Ryan Church and Carlos Delgado are both excellent candidates for a platoon. I realize that there may be some egos involved and that Church could probably use more time against southpaws to improve, but I still think it's worth having a righty bat on the bench who can fill in part time at both RF and 1B. My choice for the job is still Kevin Mench, who is still available and seems to be drawing little interest. But, it seems that the Mets are at least considering a decent alternative: Craig Wilson. Wilson performed poorly in limited action last season, but he has a strong track record against lefties, has played mostly RF & 1B during his career, and could probably serve as emergency catcher (his original position), allowing Castro to pinch hit more often.

Avg/OBP/Slg #s against lefties over the last three seasons:
Delgado .231/.309/.454
Church .259/.336/.406

Mench .305/.368/.558
Wilson .266/.368/.445
