John Delcos reports that the mets made some decisions today, announcing that Sele and Smith will both be on the 25-man roster and in the bullpen once the season starts. Ben Johnson and Anderson Hernendez were both sent down to New Orleans, as was Jorge Sosa.

Nothing terrible earth shattering in this announcement.  It seems like it was pretty much said Sunday that Sele and Smith were making the roster, or at the very least it was strongly implied.  While he seems to have shown some improvement, Anderson Hernendez still didn't seem to be at a high enough level that anyone expected to see him make it either, especially with both Valentine and Easley around to cover 2nd base. Johnson was a probable but unlikely roster addition, depending on how many pitchers the team decides to take.  With him officially optioned down, that would be a stronger indication of Lastings making the roster.  Aside from that though, the only thing now is who our final bullpen member is.  As mentioned the other day, do we go Adkins and if he stinks release him and then try Park? Or do we go Park and write off Adkins as a loss? I know Burgos had a strong finish, but I still think he needs more time, and assume Willie, Omar and Co see him as the 3rd option of those three as well.
