Also, Gary Cohen says "Koonz". I figure he's got better info on the matter then I do.

Scoreless inning with the big club last night! I couldn't be prouder.

Saith John Sickels in his recent review of his Mets prospect rankings from last season: 6) Eddie Kunz, RHP, Grade B 3.00 ERA with 38/23 K/BB in 45 innings for Binghamton, 26 saves. Strong ground ball ratio, looks like he should be ready to help in the pen soon. Good stuff. http://www.minorleagueball.com/2008/7/29/581798/top-20-new-york-mets-prosp (Also, I've been pronouncing his name like buns, but I can't seem to find a definitive ruling on the matter.)

Article in the post has my boy's name being kicked around as a possible call-up if the big club needs a bullpen arm. http://www.nypost.com/seven/07152008/sports/mets/amazin_plans_120019.htm

Eddie didn't exactly take professional baseball by storm last season, posting a 6.75 ERA in 12.0 IP at Brooklyn. As a sports parent, I feel secure calling that statistically insignificant sample size. He did whiff 9 batters in those same 12 innings, which ain't bad. Also, his OSU Beavers won back-to-back College World Series. This year at Bingo, he's got 15 saves with a less-ugly 4.13 ERA and a more-ugly 1.59 WHIP. I vaguely recall an article about Billy Wagner taking him under his wing at spring training, but I can't find it. I wonder just how many wings my boy can fit under at once. I reckon he's likely to get slightly more mileage out of Billy's than mine, though, if it comes down to one wing at a time.

I've been meaning to do this for a while. Today seems like a good day. Eddie's from Oregon, I'm from Oregon. Now we both live on the east coast and pull for the Mets. We're practically the same guy, if you factor out age, salary, and physical fitness. So I'll take him under my wing.

Does that mean you're going to injure one of us and then sit out 1/3 of every season from now on?
