I'm surprised Seo and Roberts only got one year. The others have yet to prove themselves, but these guys certainly have. They'd be an integral part of the future that the Mets appear to be building.

Duncan and Redman seem to have a lot of potential, but I could see waiting to measure their development over the next year.
