Gagnon with a Spoon

[Edgy MD]

It went largely ignored at the end of last week, but the Mets did a minor league signing, picking up the pieces of a guy with one of the worst ERAs in the PCL, and calling on the king's men to put him back together. Drew Gagnon's the name. Another former Long Beach State Dirtbag.

His signing is so under-the-wire that we don't even know if it came with a spring training invite! Nobody wants to be the jerk to ask, "Hey, Sandy, will we see Drew Gagnon down in St. Lucie?!"

Drew Gagnon! You probably won't see much of him in New York, but folllow him at @Dgags24!

Here he is in spring training, trying to get a save. Pronounced GAHN-yo

Uh this guy is starting tonite.

[Edgy MD]

Had been mostly relieving the last few years, but has been starting for Las Vegas.

I hope for the best, but frankly don't get it. Lugo in the pen is a luxury the team can't come close to affording.

These moves all make more sense if you imagine that the team is owned by Rachel Phelps, and she is plotting a move to Miami.



It also explains Reyes starting both games of a doubleheader.

There was a kid on the little league team (a total little asshole) that my husband coached with that last name and that’s what we called him.

[Benjamin Grimm]

You called him "Total Little Asshole"?

[Guest cooby]

Only after we went home

[Edgy MD]

Total Little Asshole sounds like a hot new NETFLIX series.

[Guest cooby]

It could star this kid! He’s about 30 now and I’ll bet he’s the same. Lol I can’t remember his first name

[Benjamin Grimm]

Maybe now he's a Total Big Asshole.

[Edgy MD]

Our Gagnon is 28 and from Cali. Hopefully not much of an asshole.

You can get a lot of 86 Drew Gagnon rookie cards here! They're only going to go up in value after tonight's start!!

This kid was a big galoot. I guess we have called him a Total Big Asshole then.

Drew is MUCH better looking

Drew leaves us as the 79th Met with exactly one RBI as a Met, but the only one of those with 0 AB as a Met.

All hail the sacrifice fly!

Or, as Vin Scully prefers to call it, a "scoring fly".
