Minor Update: Carp added to 40-man, Murphy has strained hammy

A few Mets minor league updates.

Mike Carp has been added to the Mets 40-man roster. It currently stands at 34 players, which it of note because today is the final day players can be added before the Rule V draft.

I think we finally might see Carp make it to the big leagues next season. It will be Carlos Delgado's final year with the Mets, so they might want to see what they're looking at with their best first baseman prospect. Carp was much more highly regarded a few years ago, but has had two down years.

Should be interesting if he can actually hit at the major league level.

On an injury note, Daniel Murphy has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, which will keep him out of winter ball.

Murphy will skip winter ball to train for spring training. Murphy knows he has a great shot at making the club from Day 1, so he knows where to focus and work. He's definitely already a fan favorite. Hopefully he can put up similar numbers.
