It's a great day for Eric Orze, who qualifies for the MLBPA pension plan and its associated medical benefits.
It's not such a great day for the Mets' bullpen, which looks nearly terminal. Gary was saying that they had limited options, as Creakin' Diekman is the only LHP they have there. Well, you could have Danny Young, but he's been sent down to play roster games and is banned from returning for a few weeks.
I have to wonder if this "Syracuse Shuttle" is just being too cutesy. Why not just have a steady staff? Rotation of Severino, Quintana, Manaea, Peterson, and Scott. LHP in the pen, Diekman and Young. Edlose as the nominal closer, backed up by Nunez and Garrett. Houser to sop up innings and either Butto or Megill as the emergency starter. I'm having a hard time understanding why there's a need to rotate warm bodies so fast that you end up with having to run Make-a-Wish kids [/way too harsh] out there because your best LHP option is enjoying a tour of the Carrier Dome. What the what?
