Bullpen 2016

[Centerfield]

And today the Diamondbacks have let sources know that Clippard is available to anyone willing to take on the remainder of his contract.

Deals like this make me glad that Sandy Alderson is our GM. Clippard may end up being great for Arizona, but this is exactly the type of deal a GM should be avoiding.

[Frayed Knot]

He looks like someone put a uniform on a coke machine - or so says "a team official" about hard-throwing, muscular LH relief option Josh Smoker

Former 1st round craft pick (#31 overall by Washington in 2007) out of a Georgia High School.
Shoulder injuries derailed his progress; has just turned 27 and only in 2015 did he get as high as AA. But he did well while there: 6.9 H/9, 11/1 K/9 even while walking too many (welcome to hard-throwing lefties).

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Nothing wrong with getting a long look but Smokie would have had a great shot to crack the squad with last year's Mets. You figure Bastardo & Blevins are already locks this time around.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Well, they're locks until.

Smokeshow is a veddy interesting stash, regardless.

Matt Harvey was interested in the coke machine

And the suspension of Robles is over.

If you've got to lose a reliever to a suspension, that's the time of year to do it.

[Edgy MD]

If the Mets' bullpen was a movie, it would be directed by Godard, because it's some kind of tour de force.
