Quote: J.J. Putz is Fine, Glad to join KRod

by Matthew Cerrone on December 19th, 2008 at 10:20 am

Mets RHP J.J. Putz was introduced to reporters yesterday during a Q&A and tour of Citi Field.

In case you missed it, click here to check out video the event.

Putz, speaking about Francisco Rodriguez, while talking with reporters, said:

“I’m just glad I don’t have to watch him on the other side anymore because he killed us… It’s going to be great.  He’s a lot of fun to watch, I’ll tell you that.  He’s been as dominant as anybody in this game the last few years.  He’s not a bad guy to have to set up… I’m fine with the role.  Like I said, bottom line, I just want to win.”

frankly, the best news of the day came when putz told reporters his walk-on music will be Thunderstruck by AC/DC, which hasn’t graced a Mets game since the late 1990s…
