The Mets have told LaTroy Hawkins that he has made the team, and will be on the Opening Day roster. Hawkins has not allowed in a run in 5 and 2/3 innings so far this spring, and opponents are batting just .227 against him. Hawkins put up a 3.64 ERA in 48 relief appearances for the Angels in 2012, and signed a minor league deal with New York back in January.
Hawkins put up a great spring, and obviously deserves to make the team. The bullpen was so weak last year, and he should be able to improve it in 2013. He has a track record, and could become the closer if Bobby Parnell fails at the position.
