Mets News: Mets to call up Burke for bullpen help, Familia to the DL?
Terry Collins said the inability of Mets starting pitchers to go deep
into games has overwhelmed his bullpen. So the Mets will promote a
reliever before Sunday’s series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the manager added.
“It’s a pretty big problem because our bullpen is shot,” Collins said
about the length of starting pitchers’ performances. “So it’s created...

Who is Greg Burke?
Back in November, the Mets announced they had signed a right-handed relief pitcher Greg Burke to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training. When I heard of the signing, it reminded me of the scene at the beginning of the movie Major League where the Cleveland fans are all giving their take on roster moves the team made, and the guy in the diner asks “Mitchell Freidman...
Mets Now & Then: Greg Burke and Terry Leach
The Mets signed Greg Burke on 11/7/12. He is a 30 year old righthander with only one season of MLB experience to his credit – 48 games for the 2009 San Diego Padres.
Ho-hum.
But wait…He’s a sidearmer! He pitched at AA/AAA for the Baltimore Orioles last year and saved 17 games. He posted a 1.53 ERA. He demonstrated excellent command with a 2.09 BB/9.

New acquisition Greg Burke aims for bullpen job with Mets

The pitching was not much better, with the exception of Greg Burke...
