The guy throws 100MPH.
K/BB ratio is (eyeballing it) 2:1.
We'll see.

By my unofficial count we now have 106 relievers.

I'm not sure if they remind me of the Isle of Broken Toys or the bar scene from Star Wars.

They'll fix him, just like the others... they have the technology.

[Centerfield]

Throws hard. Command issues. Kinda like the right-handed version of the guy they signed the other day.

Question. Let's assume the Mets pitching lab is for real. Does it make a difference if they sign a guy this late in the game? I mean, spring training is in two weeks. Is that enough time to fix him?

Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

[Centerfield]

I’ve been reading more about this guy. Rough start, strong second half. Good WHIP as a reliever. I think I’ve talked myself into this being a good signing. I’m also optimistic about the upside of the bullpen as a whole.

I still think the rotation is pretty rough, and I don’t see how we can expect the offense to be any better than it was last year. But maybe an improved bullpen can get us in the hunt.

[Edgy MD]

I like that he's transitioning from starting to relieving, he had a taste of a successful team with Baltimore last season, and at $3.35 million, his contract is highly fungible.

I laughed until I realized you are right

[Edgy MD]

Amazingly, after years of outright gas from deGrom and Diaz and Syndergaard et al., the Mets were one of just three teams last season not to throw a single fastball in the triple digits.

If the idea is to get bullpen with a lot of different and distinct looks, Fujinami has a look they've been lacking. He also has options, which is another asset the bullpen can certainly use

[Edgy MD]

Eight days in and we're still waiting on the announcement of this. Four more days and the 60-Day IL is available.

I see the benefit of the delay, but I hope Stoins doesn't try to get too clever like Eppler.

[DocTee]

Mount him? I hardly know him!

Fujinami assigned No. 19.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Look out, Daniel Ray Hererra

[metirish]

Ok

[whippoorwill]

You know, I’ll bet five of us could be the Mets’ starting rotation, and 20 of us the bullpen, and we’d be just as reliable.

Though our shoulders would probably suddenly fall off, like theirs do.

Which is why I always keep my glove ready.
I'm waiting for the call.

My old glove’s in my craft closet. I’m ready
