Adam Rubin reportingthat the Mets have signed Casey Fossum.

Well, sure, he gave us four good innings in 2009.

He appears to have been out of organized ball in 2010.

Pitched four innings in 2009 for the Mets......he was hot property for the red Sox at one point right?

Livan Hernandez also being watched by Met scouts, and talks reportedly underway to sign Gary Sheffield.

They're also waiting for Jerry Koosman to get out of prison.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Koo was released in June. (Update the database!)

You know, this bullpen's looking a little shaky. Might be a good idea to get rid of some of these extra prospects, and grab a second closer.

Heck, ST's only a week away. There's no time to check medical records!

[Lefty Specialist]

In that pic, it looks like Koosman's surrendering to the authorities again.

We already have one, Robert Parnell.

Now Casey, "Go get your shinebox."

If the Mets wanted to take a chance on a relatively young (about 33) lefthander who hadn't pitched in the majors for a while, what about Oldlis Perez? He had simlar (if not slightly better) success as Ollie, and they were both free agents. I have always thought the Mets should have signed him instead of the other O. Perez. And he isn't coming back off an injury, just a contract dispute and (maybe) being given the reputation as a hothead and blackballed when he refused to report to the minors.

You and Odalis Perez.

And maybe his family.
LOL!

Fossum Face.

Mid-release, his nose seems to get that weird elongated-pointy-bend thing that both Plastic Man and Elongated Man seem to have in the comics.
