Note To The Mets: Don’t Neglect The Bullpen
Mets Merized Online —
... With all the talk of the Mets plans for 2010 and beyond, few if any have mentioned the bullpen. As one of the lone bright spots for the team this season, the bullpen is going to need some attention next season.
Currently, the Mets have two ex-All-Star setup men on their roster in Billy Wagner and J.J. Putz. Although, both have options for next season it is highly unlikely either will be brought back without at least signing a new deal that will pay them less money. Even so, I still don’t see this happening.
In Wagner’s case, he wants the role ...
News and Notes: Livan Out, Wagner In
Dom D's Mets Fan Blog —
As many of you have already heard, the Mets have outright released Livan Hernandez and have activated reliever Billy Wagner off the DL. In a season of so much doom and gloom, it would be nice to see Billy have a couple quality outings, as he clearly has worked very hard to get back on the mound much sooner than expected. As for Livan Hernandez, he pretty much exceeded everyone's expectations at least early on in the year. In the months of May and June, Livan pitched very well and had an ERA of 3.25. However, ...

Red Sox Glance at Ankiel and Gonzalez
Sports of Boston —
... With Billy Wagner’s bags packed and ready to head out of New England, the Red Sox need another lefty in the bullpen and Gonzalez fits that description perfectly. Gonzalez had Tommy John surgery over two years ago and seems to have responded well to it. He struck out a career-high 90 batters last year in a career-high 74.1 innings pitched but did give up a career-high seven home runs and also walked a career-high 33 batters. To say the least, he had a career year last season. ...

Soriano accepts arbitration

... The Atlanta Braves have spent the recent weeks signing relievers Takashi Saito and Billy Wagner, in an attempt to put their bullpen back together when Mike Gonzalez and Rafael Soriano decline arbitration and sign elsewhere. Soriano must have not gotten the memo.
This move could be a reaction to Soriano not getting the offers he had expected to receive on the free agent market. Soriano finished the season with a 2.97 ERA and 102 strikeouts over 75.2 innings pitched. After what has been his best season, it is clear he expected ...
