Blaine Boyer come on down.

[metirish]

Mets sign him to a minor and in invite him to Spring Training

What do we know about this pitcher?

[Valadius]

Was with the Braves for a while, they used him in non-save situations.

Val ever the politician, I guess you are saying he's rubbish.

[A Boy Named Seo]

He wears high numbers (48, 54, 55, 56, and 78) and his #6 most similar pitcher is Fernando Nieve (978) and #10 is Ambiorix Burgos (975)

He's the bro on the left & i think he thinks bowhunting is totally fuckin rad:

[metirish]

I bet they are reading an article about how the hunters totally outwitted the dear they were hunthing.

Dying over here.

Who knew Boyer was such fun?, this thread might well be his high point as a Met.

[A Boy Named Seo]

He reminds me of Jeremy Griffiths.

[Valadius]

He looks like Mark McGwire.

Blaine Boyer was my favorite of all the "Facts of Life" girls, until her ass got too big.

Wait, what?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mets have a goal of acquiring every BB to ever play baseball.

They're hoping Tim Teufel does his part and sends them a little Blaine Boyer and Boof Bonser for a few weeks this summer.

Right there with you

This guy out of Terry Collins' office yet?

[metirish]

Not sure if this tweet from Rubin 2 hours ago sheds any light on what's going on or adds confusion

" Blaine Boyer met in Terry Collins' office with the manager and remains unclear his status.He has a Thursday out"

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

That has to be the world's longest game of "how many fingers am I holding up behind my back."

[Willets Point]

"Blaine Boyer. Truly a sight to behold. A man beaten. The once great champ, now, a study in moppishness. No longer the victory hungry stallion we've raced so many times before, but a pathetic, washed up, aged ex-champion. "

[metirish]

Disturbing images out of PSL show Blaine Boyer noted hunting enthusiast setting up "his spot" outside the Mets complex.......apparently he's scoping out the managers office

Clap... clap.

Another difficult situation. Boyer has been a bit better than Acosta this spring, but Acosta has really only had one bad outing and has a superior track record. Both are probably better than Pedro Beato right now, but Beato has the upside and is a Rule V pick. Boyer also might be (and Acosta most likely is) better than D. J. Carrasco, but Carrasco has a two-year commitment.

The good news is that it's been a seller's market for relievers, so the Mets should be able to get more than the $25,000 waiver claim fee if/when they part ways with somebody.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Carrasco is set up to be their long reliever/spot starter.
