Well, I guess this is trading from a position of strength for a position of weakness. I long thought Matt den Dekker good enough to be our version of Endy but Blevins is nasty against lefties (.594 OPS for his career and a better than 5:1 K:BB ratio for his career) and fills a hole desperately in need of filling.

ReplyDeleteThis is a 2015 move.
I am sorry to see Matt go, having long pulled for him, and wish him well - just not so well that he screws up our Mets as a National!
ReplyDeleteHe deserves a chance to play, and hopefully he'll get reasonable playing time with the Nationals.
It's amazing...Matt den Dekker could have been Juan Lagares but one broken arm changed all that.
ReplyDeleteI do hope he becomes a good player but not for the Nationals.
