They'll be backed up by Montero, Thor, Matz, Mazzoni, and possibly a spring invite that's yet to even be signed.<br /><br />I think Gilmartin was picked strictly to compete and hopefully become a reliable lefty out of the pen. A perfect second lefty/swing man and a league minimum salaried player that hopefully is on the team for the next few years building up his creds. <br /><br />There is nothing wrong with the trade of Verret for Gilmartin which is what this essentially was.<br /><br />Also, holy shit, our AAA rotation may be better that 1 or 2 major league rotations at the start of the year. Despite all the yapping and screaming from Mets fans over the last five years, they've built themselves quite a stable of young arms. <br /><br />It just sucks that it doesn't coincide with ownership finally being out from under their massive debt that they certainly still have.

Our rotation is already fully stocked, so IMO, considering him as SP5 just doesn't make sense.<br /><br />I wasn't initially enamored with the Mayberry signing. I was of the mind that Chris Denorfia would have been a better choice, albeit, he doesn't provide Mayberry pop. I also have always been a fan of Reed Johnson as a RH bat off the bench, but perhaps his skills have deteriorated at the ripe old age of 38. So I relook at Mayberry, and his LH/RH splits as well as his PH stats have won me over.

The Diamnondbacks just dropped tiny Eury De La Rosa to make room for Rubby De La Rosa who they acquired from Boston. Lefty Eury has pitched to a 2.90 ERA in the minors with a 3:1 K to BB ration and better than a K per inning. I'm guessing his size is partially to blame as there seems to be an inherent prejudice against little guys on the mound. At 5'9" and 165 he's not going to intimidate anyone with his presence, but those results are pretty damned impressive.Reese Kaplanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12993445356545875409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-24970067106916061232014-12-13T09:00:56.815-05:002014-12-13T09:00:56.815-05:00A few questions come to mind:

He did have a sore arm late in the season, but nothing that required surgery. Why not sign him to a MnL deal and let him compete?<br /><br />2) After losing so many players in the MnL phase of the Rule V, why didn't the Mets draft even one?
