Adam Rubin takes a first look at the Mets free agents and possible non-tender candidates. Rubin clarifies just how much J.J. will get paid if the Mets pick-up his option and while I'd like to have an elite closer as my set-up man, that's just too much money. I was a huge supporter of the Putz ...
Breaking Down The Mets Bullpen: Sean Green
metsmerizedonline.com 26 days ago — Last off-season, I started writing a series of columns that profiled each member of the Mets bullpen and analyzed their performance in the previous season.

Analysis: Mets Bullpen
metsfansforever.com 23 days ago — Author: Will Hernandez Last
October, Mets GM Omar Minaya was trying to figure out how he was going
to revamp his bullpen after another dreadful performance down the
stretch. In the last two weeks of the 2008 collapse, the bullpen had a

Based on his comments he has enjoyed playing in NY and doesn't seem to mind being in a set-up role. Basically J.J. has said the ball is in the Mets court. Here's the thing for me, there was a reason ...
Breaking Down The Mets Bullpen: J.J. Putz
metsmerizedonline.com 25 days ago — As I had mentioned in my previous post, it has been nearly a year since the Mets acquired J.J. Putz from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for a bevy of players.

metsfever.blogspot.com 21 days ago — It's being reported that the Mets have in fact declined J.J. Putz's option, essentially buying out the reliever for 1M. I would love to keep him and actually see that 1-2 punch of Putz to K-Rod in action, but at over 9M it isn't smart business. Surprisingly Putz maybe willing to return on a ...
Mets decline option on J.J. Putz
metscitiblog.com 21 days ago — According to MLBTradeRumors , the Mets have informed J.J. Putz that they will buy out his option rather than picking it up. This was really a no-brainer as the option was for over $9 million. Putz was injured a lot last year and was never really a factor, positive one anyway, in ...

metsmerizedonline.com 22 days ago — As we’ve done for the last two off seasons, we’ll try to get to your mailbag questions and comments at least once a week. Unfortunately, Christian has moved on, so until someone new decides they want to respond to site mail, you’ll have to contend with me. I may not get as ...
