Mets 40-man roster: Three guys who could lose a spot before Opening Day

The current New York Mets 40-man roster is heavy on pitching and much lighter on pitching. There are only two position players on it who have yet to appear in the big leagues, catching prospect Ali Sanchez and shortstop Andres Gimenez.

Everyone else known for wielding a bat has familiarized themselves with Major League Baseball in the past. I expect some changes by Opening Day with a little more balance.

This means the Mets are likely to designate at least a pitcher or two for assignment to clear a roster spot for another bat.
