I also wouldn't be surprised if Claudio Vargas and Jon Niese get long looks (Niese seems to be taking "the leap," and will shoot past 400 minor league IP this year if he stays healthy).

Privately, the Mets believe they scored enough runs last season (799, tied for second in the NL with the Phillies). Unless they can pull off an unlikely trade of Luis Castillo and add free agent Orlando Hudson to play second base, the likely move is to add a backup infielder such as Alex Cora.
799 runs is enough. Don't score a run more.
