I think he means the collective signings as a whole, not just Francisco.

Is this a joke? Papelbon WAR over the last 7 seasons – 17.1. Francisco WAR over the last 7 seasons – 5.6.

Pap has 6 years of 30+ saves. Francisco’s top two years are 25 and 17.

This is ridiculous. The guy made $4M last year and was borderline decent. Now we’re paying him 50% MORE than that for two years? Good grief.

Obviously Torres was just baggage in the Pagan-Ramirez deal. He’s awful. Are we seriously looking at a starting outfield of Murph-Bay-Duda?

I want to say something positive about my team.

Something positive!

It’s safe to say the Mets are going to the Orioles of the NL East…

Very much so, Both were disasters in big situations, not traits you want in your late inning relievers.

He was very erratic last season. Toronto fans did not want Francisco and Rauch back.

Kudos Mets. Better than $50MM+ for Papelbon for similar skills

Buying an expensive bullpen for your non-competitive team is the new market inefficiency.
