Pedro Feliciano is back to pitching. He pitched
Thursday night for Leones de Ponce of the Puerto Rico Winter League. Feliciano
went 1.0-IP and gave up zero runs or hits. It’s his fourth outing of the winter
season totaling 4.0 innings… stat line is 2-H, 1-ER, 4-K, 1-BB, 2.25. The lefty
will go into the 2013 season as a 37-year old. Was acquired by the Mets, along
with minor league outfielder Elvin Andujar and
two players to be named later (outfielders Raul
Gonzalez and Brady Clark), from the
Cincinnati Reds for left-handed pitcher Shawn Estes and
cash on Aug. 15, 2002. Who can forget those two great years… 2009: 88-G,
3.03… 2010: 92-G, 3.30.
Ken Davidoff reports
that the Mets are looking at P Shaun Marcum, Chris
Capuano, and Aaron Harang
Marcum was a long time Toronto
pitcher who went 13-8, 3.64 in his final Blue Jay season in 2010. Since then,
he has pitched two seasons with Milwaukee (2011: 13-7, 3.54… 2012: 7-4, 3.70).
Mets fans are familiar with
Capuano, who pitched in Queens in 2011
(11-12, 4.55). He was signed by the Dodgers and held his own throughout the
2012 season (12-12, 3.72); however, due to the Dodgers signing every pitcher
available on earth, there’s no room for him in their rotation. The 32-year old
averaged around six innings per start last season. He’s owed $6mil in 2013 with
a $1mil
Harang signed a two year contract
with the Dodgers, of which $7mil is due in 2013, with a $2mil buyout for 2014.
He went 10-10, 3.61 last season after a 14-7, 3.64 season with San Diego in
2011. He will pitch 2013 as a 35-year old.

Unless signing Marcum costs the Mets #11, do it. I think he'd be a good fit the rotation :
ReplyDeleteSP1 - Santana
SP2 - Marcum
SP3 - Niese
SP4 - Harvey
SP5 - Gee/Wheeler
Then, if Marcum is pitching well at the deadline and the Mets are out of it, I could see him bringing back a top prospect in trade from a desperate contender.
Also, if the Mets wind up trading anyone of real value for Capuano after we just let him walk away I'm going to be really pissed off.
