The Mets have sent Josh Satin, Wilmer Flores, and Carlos Torres to minor league camp. Satin hit .625 in 8 at-bats with the Mets this spring. Flores hit .143 in 21 at-bats. Torres posted a 8.44 ERA in 5.1 innings pitched.
I am very surprised that the club has cut both Flores and Satin. Flores had the chance to take the second-base job from Daniel Murphy, but he really didn't step up and make a good impression. I still expect that he will be closely watched at Triple-A, and possibly considered as trade bait once the trade deadline rolls around. As for Satin, he has no chance to make the team as a starter, but I thought he would be seriously considered to make it as a bench player. He is very versatile, and hit well during his brief stint with the team this spring.
As for Torres, he didn't show much control on his pitches, and seemed to get rocked every time he was on the mound. He was an easier cut to make.
