Hello Ruddy Lugo

The Mets just claimed reliever Ruddy Lugo from the A's. He actually had a decent rookie year for the D-Rays in 06. Last year he was great in AAA but sucked in the majors. He will probably not be the most significant acquisition of the week, but he brings some upside with no risk.

From ESPN.com: ]While the Mets tried to lock up Santana, they also added depth to their bullpen Wednesday by claiming hometown pitcher Ruddy Lugo off waivers from Oakland. Lugo was 6-0 with a 5.40 ERA in 38 relief appearances with the Athletics and Tampa Bay last season. Oakland claimed him off waivers in June, then designated him for assignment Friday after claiming outfielder Jeff Fiorentino off waivers from Cincinnati. Lugo is 8-4 with a 4.39 ERA in 102 major league games. Control has been his biggest problem -- he has 74 walks and 82 strikeouts in 133 1/3 innings. Still, the 27-year-old right-hander has been effective for extended stretches. He pitched in 64 games for Tampa Bay in 2006, going 2-4 with a 3.81 ERA and allowing only four homers in 85 innings. He held opponents to a .210 batting average during his final 24 appearances last year, finishing 4-0 with a 2.86 ERA. The younger brother of Boston shortstop Julio Lugo, Ruddy was selected by Milwaukee in the third round of the 1999 amateur draft. He played at Xaverian High School in Brooklyn, leading the team to the 1999 Catholic High School Athletic Association championship by striking out 12 and scoring the winning run in the title game at Shea Stadium.
