Adam Bostick came into his own this season as a reliever, the 26 y/o lefty has been considered a disappointment as a starter to the extent the Mets removed him from their 40 man roster and were still able to retain him when no one else was interested.Overall he's made 123 starts of 176 appearances with a 4.36 ERA through all levels of the minors. In AAA over four seasons he has an ERA of 5.17 with a 9-14 record. But this year he went to the pen full time and posted a 3.28 ERA in 27 appearances, against lefties his ERA was 1.69 and they hit a mere .211. I was disappointed that Bostick wasn't called up this Sept. as an audition for the second lefties spot in the pen next year, but maybe he's being rested for winter ball. Thanks to Andre M. for finding an international article linking Bostick to playing in VWL...original source Lider De Portes translated BabelfishCañizares was not the unique one mattered signed yesterday by sharks.

No, I hadn't forgotten my responsibilities as a chronicler. I figured we'd be home around 2, which would probably...
