Meet Greg Burke

John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 07 2012 02:13 PM

Mets signed him to a minor league deal today. 30-y.o. RHP had a cup of Joe with the 2010 Padres, Jersey native, Duke U. Closed games for AA Bowie and AAA Norfolk of the O's last year. Doesn't surrender many homers and appears to bring it sidearm. [youtube:1qqhi0df]HUmim7jtJy0[/youtube:1qqhi0df]

Originally drafted by the Mets back in 2000. Apparently Steve Phillips' people left that file laying around. What's his wife's name? What's she like?

Megan, spelled traditionally, unlike Parnell's wife.

Saw success in the minors at least, but the Orioles apparently didn't appreciate it. They did have a pretty good bullpen, so I guess they never saw the need.

it's harder when no one writes about a guy and there is no story about his loving supportive family. She seemed more paramour than relation, and I did find an article that said he was at his girlfriend's grandmother's funeral when he found out about his call up last year.
