Links: Bobby O, Discipline, Olly, and Nails
The Long Island Met Fan points out an article in the Daily News which notes that Bobby Ojeda may join the SNY broadcast team in 2009 in a pre and postgame studio role.
Mets Geek, no longer Rays Geek, evaluates the Mets’ plate discipline, writing:
“O-swing % is how often a player swings at pitches out of the strike zone. Castillo (who swung at a low rate of 12.64%) would have easily led all of baseball in O-Swing % if he had enough plate appearances to qualify.”
…castillo is great at laying off of bad pitches, but when he does swing it is hardly the most impressive thing i have ever seen to put it nicely…
Marty Noble at MLB.com answers fans’ questions including; “What do you think about bringing back Oliver Perez as a closer?”
…i don’t know about you, but thanks to scott boras, i feel that we have seen the last of ollie in a mets uniform…
Finally, Mark Kram of Philly.com follows financial guru Lenny Dykstra, who “was born to make money”, around for a day.
…mark kram eh, nice palindrome…
