Kimbrel has a 2.25 ERA across four spring innings but has issued four walks against two strikeouts. Manager Carlos Mendoza has nonetheless been impressed with the late life on his fastball, which sits around 93 mph. "He's doing what he is supposed to be doing," Mendoza said Monday. (Tim Britton)

Fantasy Impact:

Kimbrel is competing with Bryan Hudson, Austin Warren, and Richard Lovelady for the final spot in the Mets' Opening Day bullpen. If he makes the 26-man roster, his base salary would be $2.5 million.
