Tom Brennan - JENRRY MEJIA WENT WHERE???
Some guys labor their entire careers and never get to be on a playoff team, much less a championship team.
Former Met Jenrry Mejia, tho', gets suspended 3 times for banned substances...
Then suspended for life...
But gets reinstated, and...
SIGNS WITH THE WORLD CHAMPION RED SOX?
Yes, yes, I know it is only a minor league deal, but he inks a deal with a team that is arguably still baseball's best.
Gets his act together, heck...Mr. Mejia could be pitching in the World Series.
Heck, if everything goes his way, he could be throwing the final championship pitch of 2019.
Amazing to think about.
He has tossed 28.1 innings in winter ball, to the tune of a 2.54 ERA. Good results. Probably still has "game".
So the above scenario is not far-fetched.
Hopefully, though, that final pitch will be thrown to Yoenis Cespedes, who just as hopefully will launch it about 500 feet, so we can have our team headed down the Canyon of Heroes...and Jennry Mejia hanging his head in defeat.
Though he's eligible to play this year, I think he's still ineligible for the post-season.
ReplyDeleteOr did I make that up?
Hobie, you may be right on that - that would be an awfully weird rule to put in though - if a guy is reinstated, he should be fully reinstated.
ReplyDeleteHe's the modern day version of Steve Howe!
ReplyDeleteBoston does have a vacancy in the back of the bullpen, by the way.
You could do worse for a minor league invite, right?
True. I think Mejia was outstanding in (his most recent?) outing, so I anticipate he will pull a Roy Hobbs.
DeleteLet's word this correctly...
ReplyDeleteMejia was CAUGHT 3 times
CAUGHT. Thank you. I stand corrected. He may have "mistakenly" been positive far more times than 3.
ReplyDeleteI am going to go back on my PEDs in order to increase my accuracy!
He has 4 more suspensions to catch up to Steve Howe.
ReplyDeleteBoth have more suspensions than your typical bridge
