Not only was Bowman Rule 5 eligible, but he also was six-year free agent eligible, too. The British Columbia native signed with the Mets in ’02 as a 12th-round pick out of high school. The 24-year-old battled through back trouble to have his most productive pro season. Bowman batted .294/.346/.458 with nine homers in 91 games for Double-A Binghamton.

Kudos to Mathieson, who overcame two Tommy John surgeries and was removed from the 40-man roster in December 2007. He’s come back strong this fall, throwing in the mid-90s in the Arizona Fall League and at the end of the year in Double-A Reading. (John Manuel)
