Comments on: The 2009 New York Mets – Job’s Favorite Team http://www.blueandorange.net/?p=712 Hoping for a Miracle since 2005 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:54:03 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Chris Wilcox http://www.blueandorange.net/?p=712&cpage=1#comment-486003 Chris Wilcox Fri, 28 Aug 2009 18:57:47 +0000 http://www.blueandorange.net/?p=712#comment-486003 I wasn't expecting 62 saves, but I also wasn't expecting a BB/9 ratio of 5.1 or a HR/9 ratio around 1. My problem isn't with the saves or lack thereof, it's how poorly he's pitched. He has not been a good pitcher this year. Can you please tell me what Jeremy Reed does well? What has he done that has warranted more playing time this year? Surely, in a season where none of our opening day starting outfielders are currently in the lineup, somewhere Reed would have earned playing time if he did something well. We might not be haunted by anybody we lost in that trade, but we didn't get anything good either, and Putz was an umitigated disaster in his one year in a Met uniform. O'Day might not have made the 2009 Mets any better, but he'd make future teams much better, and at a low cost. The team lost a talented player for one spot start for seemingly no reason, and speaks to how poorly Omar Minaya handles the big league roster.
