Well there are major signs after Gotay being put on waivers that Fernando Tatis may be the 25th man on the Met's roster. Here are what some Met's blogs are saying.

• Metsblog "what we can logically assume here is that Fernando Tatis is now the leading candidate to round out the bench, meaning gotay has to hit waivers"
• Mets Prospectus "Fernando Tatis fills every single one of these needs. The Mets don't need another fast guy on the bench because they'll already have Pagan and Chavez. This time last week I thought Brady Clark had the spot locked up, but as of now I have to think Tatis is in the lead."
• MLB.com "Fernando Tatis earning a roster spot is enhanced due to the need for a right-handed bat off the bench.

I would really want to have Gotay he has so much more upside than Tatis. Tatis has showed some pop hitting 34 hr's one year, but hasn't played in the majors since 2006 and is now 33. The only reason I honestly remember who he is because I once got his baseball card and learned he was the only player to ever hit 2 grand slams off the same pitcher in 1 inning.
