The Mets opening day roster likely won't be set until the middle of the week but it is taking shape. Right now, the players below look to have the best shot..

1. Ramon Castro
2. Brian Schneider
3. Carlos Delgado
4. Luis Castillo
5. Damion Easley
6. Jose Reyes
7. David Wright
8. Carlos Beltran
9. Endy Chavez
10. Ryan Church
11. Angel Pagan
12. Marlon Anderson (or Jose Valentin)
-----
13. Mike Pelfrey or Nelson Figueroa
14. Orlando Hernandez
15. Steven Register
16. Matt Wise
17. Jorge Sosa
18. Scott Schoeneweis
19. Aaron Heilman
20. Pedro Feliciano
21. Johan Santana
22. Oliver Perez
23. John Maine
24. Pedro Martinez
25. Billy Wagner


Duaner Sanchez may not be ready for opening day.

The 5th spot in the rotation will likely be either El Duque, Pelfrey or Figueroa.

The Mets will look to add a righty OF bat and it could be the switch-handed Pagan

Steven Register is a Rule-V guy, if he's taken off the main roster he will go back to Colorado

hopefully they add Nady somehow. or sign the released Reed Johnson.

'Pen's looking great. 5th spot looks shaky
