Link: The 2013 Mets: Choose your own misadventure
Tired of the 2012 season and ready to start thinking about improving the Mets for 2013? Click Here to read about my look at the 2013 Mets as of right now, a good starting point for thinking realistically about what changes need to be made and how that could be accomplished (at Mets360.com).

Players still in big league camp
Updated April 4, 2012
With the Opening Day roster now established, here's a breakdown of who made the team.
Active players on the 40-Man Roster (23):
The following players were already on the 40-man roster. Players who can be optioned to the minor leagues are denoted by italics. For a full breakdown of the options status of players on the Mets' 40-man roster, check out the Options tab. Players starting the season on the DL are denoted by red text.

DJ Carrasco called up; Dale Thayer optioned
DJ Carrasco
Carrasco was on optional assignment with AAA Buffalo at the time of this call-up, so he was already on the Mets' 40-man roster. He has spent (approximately) 48 days on optional assignment in 2011, so the option year will officially count as his third and final. This call-up, as well as any subsequent 2011 options and call-ups, will have no effect on the number of options he has remaining. Following the 2011 season, Carrasco will be out of options.
Dale Thayer
Thayer heads to AAA Buffalo on optional assignment, and thus remains on the 40-man roster. Prior to his May 27th call-up, Thayer spent the first 57 days of the season in the minor leagues. However, he was not on optional assignment at the time (he was simply on a minor league contract), so it didn't count toward the 20 days he needs for 2011 to officially be marked as his third and final option year. That clock starts now.
Other Notes:
This transaction has no effect on the 40-man roster, as both players involved were already on it. It's worth noting, however, that this move restarts DJ Carrasco's ML service clock, which had been frozen at 4.166 years (read: 4 years, 166 days). Once he earns 6 more days of service time, he'll eclipse the all-important 5 year mark. With 5 years of ML service come certain rights, including the ability to refuse any minor league assignment, optional or outright, and force the Mets to either reinstate him to the active roster or release him and continue to pay out the remainder of his contract. In other words, Carrasco is now (or, technically, in 6 days will become) very likely to remain on the Mets' active roster (or DL) for the remainder of his contract (which runs through 2012).

Lucas Duda called up; Nick Evans DFA'd
Lucas Duda
Duda was on optional assignment with AAA Buffalo at the time of the call-up, so he was already on the 40-man roster. He has spent (approximately) 58 days on optional assignment in 2011, so the option year will officially count as his first. This call-up, as well as any subsequent 2011 options and call-ups, will have no effect on the number of options he has remaining.
Nick Evans
Evans is out of options, so to clear the spot for Duda on the 25-man active roster, he was designated for assignment (DFA'd). In addition to removing him from the active roster, the DFA also removes him from the 40-man roster. The Mets now have 10 days to trade him, release him, or send him outright to the minors. If they wish to outright him, he will first need to clear waivers. Additionally, since a player can only be outrighted once in his career without his consent, Evans will have the right to refuse the assignment. If he exercises that right, he will immediately become a free agent and will forfeit the remainder of his contract. If he accepts the assignment, he will be eligible for free agency at the end of the season (unless he is back on the 40-man roster at that time).
Regardless of what happens with Evans, this move reduces the Mets' 40-man roster count from 40 to 39. The open spot will not be filled until the Mets choose to either reinstate a player from the 60-day DL or call up a player who is not currently on the 40-man roster.
