The Mets have signed free-agent RHP Matt Wise to a one-year contract.
Wise, 32, was 3-2 with one save and a 4.19 ERA in a career-high 56 games last year for the Brewers.
Mets GM Omar Minaya, on Wise…
“Matt has had success in a variety of roles. He adds a versatile arm to the bullpen.”
Since 2005, Wise has posted a 3.27 ERA against the NL East.
…if i recall correctly, he was on course for a dominant season, but fell apart in late July after hitting a batter in the head…after that, it’s like his wheels came off and he could not find the strike zone to save his life…hopefully this has worked itself out…
He had a 2.19 ERA in June.
He then hit Pedro Lopez in the head, had a 4.22 ERA in July, had a 7.71 ERA in August and had a 10.38 ERA in September.








A stronger bullpen than 2007 is a good move under any possible scenario.
it was a good bullpen, just way overused by willie
yes. sele, schoeneweis, and mota are waiting for their induction into baseball’s hall of fame.
feliciano, smith, and wagner were GOLD JERYY GOLD! then willie overworked them and the starters died. Heilman was pretty consistent…. and sosa had a few good weeks from what i recall
if clemens gets in, then why cant mota
BTW sele might have a case for the hall
not on the first ballot though. that would look bad for the kids.
If we were ever able to get Sanchez healthy (a big if), we would be very well off right now in the pen.
Wags - closer
Heilman - 7th and 8th
Sanchez - 7th and 8th
Feliciano - 7th and loogy specialist
Wise - 6th and 7th
Joe Smith - Roogy and 6th and 7th with funk
Show - long man and spot 6th and 7th plus loogy
Register likely does not make it.
Sosa in AAA as a reserve
more help in Kunz and Muniz at AAA
Pen actually looks really solid with a healthy and formerly very good Sanchez.
Plus, a rotation right now of Pedro, Duque, Maine, OP and Pelfrey is not looking all that bad until the injury bug hits.
It would look a ton better if we could put Santana at the front.
I have to say I’m really surprised that everyone is so happy about this signing. There’s been so much anti-omar sentiment this winter that I thought it would have taken nothing short Omar cloning Tom Seaver to fill out the rotation to satisfy you guys.
Fantastic little signing. At worst he is no impact and we lose the cash we spent on him, at best he can become a pretty good setup man.
no, fantastic would be getting a frontline starter, this is a decent low risk move.
P.S. Another fantastic thing is defecating in the toilet and not having to wipe! :)
He then hit Pedro Feliz in the head, had a 4.22 ERA in July, had a 7.71 ERA in August and had a 10.38 ERA in September.
Sounds like he will contribute down the stretch run..
BIG Freakin’ deal. Just what we need, another crappy arm to fall apart down the stretch…
I knew it was too good to last.
Since 2005, Wise has posted a 3.27 ERA against the NL East.
‘05 0.964 WHIP 6HR
‘06 1.331 WHIP 6HR
‘07 1.453 WHIP 6HR
That doesn’t suck.
I’m neutral on the wise signing. But you can’t just point to the NL East splits and say he is good. The Mets still have to play teams in the other divisions as well as the AL.
At least the commitment isn’t much so that if he is bad, they are less likely to hang on to him through the season in the hope he’ll improve. That’s what they did with Mota.
its not bad for one year, if it does not work out, it just doesnt, thats it
baby if you strip you can get a tip cos i like you just the way you are.
mary j blige?
timberkand?
its timbaland’s the way i are.
i just got it stuck in my head.
beter not be justin timbaland
haha i cant stand justin timberlake.
he tries too hard.
timbaland is the mastermind behind all his music anyway.
whatever there names are, they both suck
I think the Bulllpen is all set.
6th matt wise
7th duaner sanchez
8th aaron heilman
9th billy wagner
loogy - pedro feliciano
roogy - jorge sosa
long man - scotte schoenweis
Do we have room for Register and J. Smith?
unless we somehow trade them all for julio franco and livan hernandez
That and a sack of Taco Bell won’t buy us the NL Pennant this year……..We need to trade all of the prospect for Santana and Nathan…..
Sorry if I came off too harsh or misplaced my disappointment. No doubt that the success of the site itself is the reason for the new crappy posters. The growth in users and lousy posters will eventually suffocate the best part of the site.
Posting is open to all. Just throwing out my criticism I guess of where the site is evolving to.
NEVER underestimate the power of Taco Bell!
