The Mets Should Make A Move On Joe Beimel

As soon as the Dodgers decided to non-tender left handed reliever, Joe Beimel, I remember thinking to myself, this guy will be signed within a week. Wrong again... The 31 year old specialist had a solid season last year after posting a 2.02 ERA in 71 games. During the 2007 season, Beimel set a record for the Dodgers by making 83 appearances, the most by a left-handed pitcher in the Dodgers history. I took a look at his three year average as I believe it's more reliable than just looking at one season. In 216 games he has a 3.04 ERA, but more importantly he held left handed hitters to a .232 batting average and has only allowed two homeruns in 280 at bats against him. That's pretty impressive. In that same span, J.J. Putz allowed 10 homeruns. While with the Dodgers, he was not only used as a lefty specialist, but also as the team's setup man and emergency closer. Currently, the Mets only have one left hander, Pedro Feliciano, in the bullpen. Some have said that's okay...
