Ok so its not April 1st yet. If Manager Jerry doesnt have enough to deal with Jose Reyes is the news we have heard for days that Pedro Felicano wants to be the 8th inning guy. I love the fact that he wants the ball. I mean last year he was lights out. The problem was the Mets don't have any lefty specialist if Felicano was the 8th inning guy.
Takahashi was a starter and not sure how he can handle that role. Insert Raul Valdes. Who you might ask? I have seen him in a couple of spring games this year who I thought the Mets would just take him from the minor league camp and use him as needed.
Well if you go over to Mike Silva's Baseball Digest there a little post about who is this Raul Valdes. In short he was with the Cubs back in 2004 and has been in the Mets system since 2007. He averages a strikeout per inning. If the Mets are serious about having him be the left specalist in the pen to start the year, the 33 year old would have to be added to the 40 man roster.
Ahhh so maybe the Mets will set up there bullpen in time for the All Star break!
