Yardbarker: Tim Redding

Mets need to step up, sign John Lackey, Matt Holliday

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:33:55 -0500

It is time for the off season to roll in and for the Mets to step out from behind the other NY baseball team. Time to discard talk of free agents like Jose Lima, Tim Redding, Freddy Garcia, Noah Lowry,...

Redding wants to return & is making a case...

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 23:50:00 -0500

After getting off to a horrible start, Tim Redding is making a strong case to return next year. Redding's base salary this year was 2.25MM and he can be controlled next year by offering him arbitration.Since August his ERA is 3.55 in 8 relief appearances and 7 starts. Four of those starts were quality, while in two he gave up four runs but went past six innings and in his first start back from the pen he shut out the Phillies for five innings. "I'm feeling strong," Redding s...

Let's Get Home Early, Tim Redding's Pitching

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 23:44:13 -0500

Shortly before 1 today Joshua and I headed out to get some lunch and run some errands. (Digression: Kids would learn the value of saving better if passbook savings accounts offered interest that wasn't microscopic.) Yes, I knew there was a Mets game imminent. No, I hadn't forgotten my responsibilities as a chronicler. I figured we'd be home around 2, which would probably mean the bottom of the third or at worst the top of the fourth. The game would be just coming into focus. I ...

Tim Redding: Streakbuster! Mets Swat Nats 3-2

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 16:10:38 -0500

For the second straight outing, Tim Redding gave up only one earned run. Fortunately, he didn’t have to face Pedro Martinez this time around. Redding’s mastery of the Nationals and some timely hitting by David Wright and Jeff Francoeur in the seventh inning helped the Mets snap their season-long six-game losing streak. Today’s final score [...]

TIM REDDING HAS ANOTHER STRONG OUTING METS OFFER HIM A 10 YEAR EXTENSION

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 15:33:48 -0500

Tim Redding had another strong start today this time against the juggernaut known as the Washington Nationals. Redding went seven innings giving up two runs just one of them earned to bring his record to 3-6 Two of the three runs were knocked in by Daniel Murphy who if anything has shown an intangible of mental toughness. You can mock that all you want but think about how Murph has not had the best of weeks on the field but still has been able to put it behind him and play some good baseball...

On the bubble: Tim Redding

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:32:00 -0500

So the first candidate was Sean Green who made the cut because of his low cost, possible trade value and minimum risk potential, next up is Tim Redding.Redding is a 31 y/o right handed starting pitcher who could best be labeled a journeyman at best or a AAAA pitcher at worst. The Mets signed him to a one year 2.25MM deal, Redding was available because the Nationals chose not to offer him arbitration. While the Nats weren't willing to pay him what he'd recieve in arbitration there were...

Has Tim Redding made a case for next season...

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:15:00 -0500

We came to acquire Tim Redding in the off-season because the Nats decided not to offer him arbitration, it wasn't that the Nats didn't consider him a decent option but they weren't willing to spend what he would cost in arbitration.Redding signed a one year for 2.25MM but that doesn't mean he's automatically a free agent at the end of the season, Redding has two more years of arbitration and only has to be offer arby to be kept under control.At the time of the signing Redd...

Mile High Meltdown: Mets Fall To Rockies 5-2

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 07:00:03 -0500

Tim Redding’s late season renaissance continued, as he enjoyed his third consecutive solid outing. However, his enjoyment of the game was short-lived, as party pooper Brian Stokes gave up three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning for the second time in five games, including a bases loaded two-run pinch-hit single to former Yankee [...]

Let's Try This Again: Happ Vs. Redding

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 17:15:18 -0500

So last night didn't go exactly according to plan, with Cole Hamels and the Phillies losing to the Mets, 4-2, on a rain-soaked night. Cole wasn't on early, and even if he had been, the run support didn't come around anyway. Just one of those nights, and aside from the lingering concerns around Hamels, there's nothing to read into the series opener. But what kind of night will we see in Game 2? JA Happ faces Tim Redding, our old friend from the Nationals. I'll...

Redding to start in place of Livan

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 18:25:00 -0500

Fresh off his three run relief outing, Tim Redding will take Livan Hernandez's place in the rotation. I completed this post today about the alternatives for the rotation, to be honest I'd rather see Redding released and a guy like Pat Misch get a chance.In other pitching news Oliver Perez had his side session and deemed himself fine for his next start, so really Livan's release didn't matter. source twitter Ed Price

Will Tim Redding be offered Arbitration...

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:49:00 -0500

There is no doubt that Tim Redding has been a disappointment this year, I admit, at the time I liked the signing. It wasn't that expensive, he had good numbers in the NL East and could serve as a 5th starter or longman.Things simply haven't worked out this year; is Redding just not that good or a guy who can't handle NY pressure or his struggles that can be attributed to his off-season injuries. It appears that the Mets are going to evaluate Redding and attempt to figure out what...

Game Thread: Mets (50-54) vs Diamondbacks (46-59)

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 18:00:08 -0500

Mets Notes: Wednesday’s rainout and the subsequent doubleheader put the Mets in need of a spot starter for Monday’s series finale against the D-backs. Rather than use Tim Redding, who has been pitching in relief and is not fully stretched out, the team decided to promote Nelson Figueroa, who has been pitching brilliantly for Triple-A [...]

Mets claim Nieve...

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 15:01:34 -0500

One of the first questions Omar fielded this morning after announcing that Tim Redding would be side lined indefinitely was whether it changed his stance on Pedro Martinez. Again Minaya asserted that the team was not negotiating with Pedro. If that wasn't enough, then the Mets most recent waiver claim should solidify there stance that they've turned the page on him.Why do I think the team is so against bringing in Pedro. I believe the biggest problem is his asking price, Pedro is stil...
