Read: Sean Green and 2010
Phil Hoops, in a post for Bleacher Report, analyzes Sean Green and his performance this past season, and whether or not the Mets should bring him back in 2010.
Hoops breaks down his performance on a month to month basis, and says that while he struggled early on, he performed real well after modifying his delivery and release point and that it might be worth bringing Green back in 2010 because he is a low risk option.
…i agree with Phil – i think that they should consider bringing him back, simply because if he is right, he can be solid against tough right handers…
…however, when he wasn’t right, he really created a hole…he did lose games simply by hitting a batter with the bases loaded and walked in the winning run, but there were times, especially towards the end of the year when he was real solid and at the very least, he deserves a look if other options don’t work out…
…i think that part of the problem with the Mets bullpen over the past few seasons is that they have been overused and over-managed…i think that they have a lot of specialists, designed to get either a tough lefty out or a tough righty out, and they get left in to face hitters that are likely to beat them up…
…the overuse stems from their starters inability to go deep into games, and repeated use day after day…i mean, Pedro Feliciano had an outstanding 2009 campaign, but he has pitched in 52 percent of the team’s games since the beginning of 2007 so the question i ask is when is all of that mileage going to catch up with pitchers like Feliciano…
