His stats seem to contradict this.

Parnell was great last year in that roll.

Parnell’s 9th inning stats (1.90 era, 22K, .193 opponent batting avg, 4.4 k/bb ratio, in 23 innings)

NO TO PARNELL!!!
The guy only throws a straight line 98mph fastball. He always gets tee’d off on.
Bring in someone who doesn’t throw as hard, but actually has some movement in their pitches.

I’m waiting for the Mets to sign Jesse Orosco.

I would agree. Or – at least shared closer duties. Might as well audition for 2014 anyway.

Please not Parnell. Parnell was given the chance each of the past 2 seasons & failed miserably both times. If FF can’t go, Lyon should be given the job.

If his elbow is still bothering him 6 months later, that sounds like Tommy John surgery in his future to me. But what do I know? To paraphrase Dr. McCoy, “I’m a baseball fan, not a doctor Jim!”

And now we know why the Mets are collecting relievers. Sandy might have seen this coming.

Looks like Valverde will get a job this year.

So, does that mean he doesn’t go on the “Best Shape Of My Life” list?
