Five reasons the Mets should not re-sign Chris Capuano

One year ago one of the debates surrounding the Mets was what they should do with Angel Pagan (though, it was for extremely different reasons than the current debate).

Did Mets err by picking Mike Pelfrey over Chris Capuano?

Following the 2011 season, the Mets had to make a decision whether to retain the services of two starting pitchers going forward – Chris Capuano and Mike Pelfrey.

Chris Capuano’s 2011 season: A success?

With one more expected start to go, Chris Capuano will accomplish something no one ever thought possible at the beginning of the season: Make more than 30 stars and finish the season healthy. That in of itself is a major accomplishment. However, Capuano has been like most of the other Mets’ pitchers these days: inconsistent and undependable. In his last 10 starts, Capuano has...

Capuano too pricey

Photo by Michael BaronReports circulated yesterday that Chris Capuano is seeking a two year deal and that the Mets are only willing to go one. The chorus of Wilpon bashing can once again chime in but in my opinion the Mets are taking the right stance on this one.
