A reminder that probably the worst thing a player can do is to get hurt during spring training.

I'm sure he saw what a lurch it left his mates in forced him to come back too early and assured he'd really really suck.

I was always a little suspicious of his track record.

We never really got to see what he can do.

I thought it was a perfectly good signing, but there is always a danger with workhorses out of the pen -- they tend to have rubber arms until they don't.

He really could have used a month of rehabbing, but the Mets could not afford to wait at that point.

He did show some flashes though. I would have been willing to give him another shot this year.

One of those pitchers who got noticeably tetchy answering post-loss questions, which means he's either a great competitor or kind of a jerk. Hard to recall he was considered something of a get. Maybe he'll rebound when he's not dealing with injuries.

I seem to recall that he looked pretty good for the first two games on the season, both played before April 1, and then he disappeared for a long time.

He's not the guy who fell off the curb, but he may as well have been.

Pitched for the Mets at some point this season, or so I'm told. I have no memory of that, even though he pitched in one of the two games I went to.

So did some of the baseballs that were hit off him.
