Buzz: No Scott Linebrink
According to the Daily News, citing the ‘player’s agent,’ the Mets have had ‘no communication’ with free-agent RHP Scott Linebrink.
…if you recall, yesterday’s poll results proposed the Mets signing linebrink to a three-year contract…it appears, however, that the Mets may have learned their lesson of dishing out long-term deals to relief pitchers…we’ll see…
…added to by Matthew Cerrone…
…good…as i said yesterday, i have had enough of this team signing relief pitchers to long-term deals, even linebrink, who struggled after leaving san diego last summer…the Mets already have schoeneweis and Guillermo Mota, and that’s enough for me…most all quality bullpens are seemingly built overnight, with mirrors, chewing gum and magic…so, i’d just as soon avoid the big contract, and roll the magical dice on Juan Padilla, Ambiorix Burgos, Eddie Kunz, Willie Collazo, Carlos Muniz, Joe Smith and whomever else finds their way on the edge of the pen…
