JEURYS FAMILIA RUMORS
Jeurys Familia faces uphill battle for Opening Day roster spot
The good news is that Jeurys Familia has not pitched in the first three exhibition games of the year and is therefore not among the nine pitchers in camp with an ERA of 9.00 or above.

Scouts Are Raving About Jeurys Familia
Jeurys Familia hasn’t thrown a lot this winter, but when he has, he’s been lights out, missing a ton of bats and flashing the mid-to-upper-90s velocity that has scouts raving, writes Baseball Prospectus. You can’t put a lot of stock in winter league performances, but you can put a ton of stock in young pitchers returning from injury and regaining velocity and missing bats...

Is Jeurys Familia Still In The Mets Pitching Plans?
