The latest and greatest on Hisanori Takahashi

Mets had a couple of pitchers that really excelled this past year. R A Dickey really helped the Mets starting staff and of course we cant forget the master of the bullpen. According to  Newsday friends of Mets reliever Hisanori Takahashi say the lefthander is more open to the idea of staying as a reliever, rather than shopping his services as a starter. Taka signed a deal that allows him to test free agency after 1 year . He went 10-6 with a ERA of 3.61 and had 8 saves to go along with 10 wins.

 He seems to be setting his sites on teams with some stake in the playoffs with himmentioning the Yankees and Phillies as teams of interest for him.  Of course the Mets are interested and he enjoyed his time with the Mets. The Mets should sign him as soon as they can and if he wants 2 years give him 2 years.  I mean you signed a 2 year deal to Igarashi and got nothing out of him.

Taka really excelled in his role as the fill in closer for the Mets as well whatever slot he was used in the bullpen. Check out our poll and let us know what you do .
