Is this the deepest bullpen you've ever seen

Wags
Heilman
Feliciano
Schowenweis
Sosa
Wise
Sanchez (that's 7 MLB ready guys)

If Smith is ready to go, that's 8 - though I fully expect Smith to start the year in the minors.

Lugo & Stokes were both MLB guys last year - that's 10. It's possible that both these guys will wait for the 40 player roster callup.

and Steven Register (because we need to keep him on the roster or lose him) might fit in the Mix if the mets want to keep him - that's 11.

When/if Burgos gets healthy this year - thats' 12.

That's a lot of bullpen arms.

Thats a stacked pen and its not like they are a bunch of scrubs either they are good players and have a deep pen means we can rest everyone more often to keep them fresh and reduce wear and tear....

Out of those I trust Feliciano, Heilman, Sanchez and Wagner. I really dont know what to expect from Sosa, I mean he could be great or implode. Schowenweis returns to being a lefty specialist, that is what he was good at last year. I feel that Joe Smith is going to make the opening day roster, he is just to filthy. I think he is better prepared for the long season this year.

It's deep enough to make me feel safe about our bullpen./

Joe Smith would have to beat out Matt Wise or Sosa to make the opening day roster, or there would have to be an injury. Smith has options and Smith showed fatigue last year. Maybe he does make the team, but I expect Smith to be an injury replacement callup.
