The following Mets were assigned to minor league camp Friday:
Outfielder Fernando Martinez, shortstop Ruben Tejada, third baseman Zach Lutz, infielder Jordany Valdespin, right-handed pitchers Armando Rodriguez, Josh Stinson, Manny Alvarez, Tobi Stoner, and John Lujan, centerfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis, and catcher Kai Gronauer.
None of these are all that shocking. I don't believe Fernando Martinez is ready to take over right field should Carlos Beltran not be ready for opening day, and the Mets are most likely preparing Tejada at shortstop in the event that Jose Reyes leaves the team.
The crop is now down to 45 players. Expect more cuts soon.
