Remember José Godoy
Posted: Fri May 03, 2024 12:31 am
José is a journeyman AAA catcher with a career .123 MLB average. Apart from being Venezuelan to the core, perhaps not a lot would stand out about him. He's not a Met, and I imagine he's unlikely to ever be one. Last anybody checked, he was doing his thing for The Reading Fightin' Phils, to the tune of .129 / .206 / .129 // .335. That's six points higher than that MLB career average posted above, but that's the advantage of AAA.
Why is he relevant to you? Well, back on June 18 of last season, the Baltimore Orioles just HAD to have themselves a little José Godoy on their roster. They couldn't help themselves. He would never even appear for the team, but I imagine the O's were down a receiver, and for a moment in time, this is the guy they thought would be the answer. And so, to make room for him, they designated for assignment one Reed Garrett, and a few days later put him on waivers, from which the Mets were wise enough to rescue him.
Reed Garrett, your MLB leader in strikeouts by a relief pitcher, delivered into your lustful arms because an ascendant organization like the O's needed a little Godoy.
Life is funny sometimes.
