• He has more power than you'd think by looking at him. • He runs well for a big guy. • 500 career games pitched, 20 saves • First pitch fastball hitter • He's a battler • He's either on or off... there is no in between. • It's too bad he'd peaked by the time he turned 25. • Just because he's a closer doesn't mean he's particularly good. • I didn't think he was capable of having a season that good. • When the season started, I'd never heard of him. Answers don't have to be limited to Mets. Later

Cormier has two career saves in 618 games (though 108 of them were starts). Both indeed came against the Mets, one in 2001 and one in 2003.
