what is the point of signing a picther who has only had one good year and the rest his ERA was well above 4.

i dont even think he will have a chance to make the MLB roster. if he does than he may fill the long reliever void that was left open since Williams will be out.

I'm not thrilled with this signing, I want to see the young guys (Perez, Maine, Pelfrey, even Humber instead of Park/Williams/Sele etc.)

[baseballmatic31]

i dont mind sele as much as park because he has been more steady in his carrer than park is. sele will give u solid numbers year in and year out. i also would like to see what the young guys can do while pedro is out. if perez and maine keep up their post-season numbers than the chances of the philles knocking us off is very slim.

PArk and Sele are just insurance pick ups in case Perez, Pelfrey & Humbers, etc. don't show they are major league ready this spring training. Competition is a good thing plus having pitching depth also is smart by Omar.

I think they just want as many rotation options as possible going into spring training and go from there. Anything can happen for a player to shine in the pre-season, but I think the young guys will get their do... they're not going anywhere, but starting the year with some veterans and the potential to easily replace them with young talent isn't a bad idea either.

Low risk, high reward type deal. He's only guaranteed $600,000 if he makes the roster with $2.4 million in incentives. If he earns them, it would be worth it. He's got decent numbers in the NL East and the large Korean population in NY should make him right at home. Good deal by Omar. Him or Sele could be our Darren Oliver of '06.

Hey, throw enough crap against the wall and I guarantee some of it sticks.

hehehe

[baseballmatic31]

i dont think he has that high of a reward becuase he has only had one decent year and that year wasnt even too great

also think it was about 5 years ago when he was in his prime and there is no way he can get back to that form
