Edgy MD Site Manager Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Perhaps as impressive a Mets debut as has ever been seen. By a batter, anyhow. Peaked way early though. Signed away by Baltimore.
Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Commonly referred to in Mets geology handbooks as "Fool's Castro."
Guest themetfairy Guests Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Big guy. Looked like a backstop. Not a particularly memorable metly career.
bmfc1 Old-Timey Member Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 One positive: The long homerun in Milwaukee.The rest: Had difficulty catching pitches.

metirish Old-Timey Member Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I guess my memory of him is that he was so bad , not that I had great expectations but apparently the front office had some.
Ceetar Grand Central Contributor Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Dealt with anemia and visa issues well into the start of the season and ultimately just wasn't very good.
Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Like Carrasco, his rotten performance as a Met made me consider that Alderson was more about "getting by" cheaply than "winning" cheaply.It's not that I expected much of such guys, but that their performance damaged hopes that maybe the Braintrust saw something that made them choose the particular stiffs they did.Paulino ought to be a black eye for Alderson: Drug-user, showed up late, shitty attitude and his D&O game in general could have been replicated by Dock Doyle or some shit.
G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 The 5-for-5 in the U-S-A! game and the ninth-inning RBI to tie the MFYs off Rivera deserve to overshadow the banality of the rest of his 2011, particularly since he won't be back and burdening the lineup with more inane dronery in 2012.
