Memories of Drew Gagnon

[G-Fafif]

Drew is officially a KIA Tiger, perhaps ready to face off against Chris Flexen of the Doosan Bears. Hot ex-Met action coming to the KBO in 2020!



Seemed a cut above the usual Quadruple-A bullpen dross until he didn't.

Well, we wanted news about Mets during the Winter Meetings, didn't we?

My memory is of Edgy's "Gag-non me with a spoon" thread title.

The player himself did nothing else very memorable.

He made his Mets debut before the Tuesday Night Mets Club and pitched well but into bad luck. Mickey usually left him out there 1 batter too long but occasionally the batter was the first one.

Sounds like they are dismantling the dreadful bullpen and I couldn't be more pleased

[Edgy MD]

Was mostly a starter in the minors, but only got one start at the big league level — his debut, in which he was hit pretty hard as well. It was something of a https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/ny-sports-mets-phillies-gamebox-20180710-story.htmllowpoint for the 2018 squad.



Part of the reason I don't like the rotating cycle of faces they've been using in the bullpen during the Callaway era is that instead of letting one guy take his licks until he figures things out as a big leaguer, they rotate a guy out after a few outings and throw another into the breach. Nobody really sticks around long enough to get a chance to turn a corner.
