Yesterday, Matt Cerrone of Metsblog did a nice job breaking down the left handed specialist market. With the departure of Scott Schoeneweis for a minor leaguer, the Mets need to obtain a loogy replacment in the bullpen. I believe you can’t effectively compete without two left handers...

When the offseason began, I thought that the demand would be high for left handed relievers. Sure there was an abundance of quality left handed relievers on the market this offseason, but hey, every team needs pitching, especially in the bullpen. Relief pitchers have done quite well on the free ...

There's been a few pieces of information to squeak out in the past day. The most interesting is that of Joe Nelson and the very real possibility that the Indians may be the favorites to sign him. He's 34 and he had his best season (only his fourth, 2nd with more than 3 innings...

As of right now, the bullpen is amazingly young. Broxton, Kuo, Wade, Troncoso, and Stults are all effective options, but they are also relatively inexperienced. Regardless, the Dodgers are short a couple arms, and will need to find some relievers in the coming months. Trevor Hoffman Hoffman has ...

Not only is it believed that Freddy Garcia has reduced his search for a new team to the two NY teams but Adam Rubin believes a decision could come within 24 hrs. Despite all the backlash I stand by the idea of bringing in Pudge Rodriguez and at this point he may only cost a minor league deal. ...

The additions of J.J. Putz and Francisco Rodriguez, along with the subtractions of Scott Schoeneweis and Aaron Heilman completely reconstructed the shape of the 2009 Mets bullpen. The 1-2 punch of Putz and K-Rod should be a major strength in late innings, but one weakness that has...

Now that we have a great 1-2 punch at the back-end of the bull-pen, the most glaring problem is Scott Schoeneweis. I would like to see the Mets move Show but to do so they would have to obtain another lefty. Even if they decided to release him and eat the last year of his contract...
