He will have a good year, he's looked good in the few times I watched him.
Unfortunately for him, he will only get about 30 save opps on this shithole team.
its only been a week yet I am hating the guy already. Everytime he comes in I am on the edge of my seat and it is never easy with him. No lead is safe with him

As a Tiger fan, I can attest to the fact that he has nothing -- absolutely zero -- left in the tank and is pretty much the worst reliever in baseball not named Phil Coke.

My condolences.

I wouldn't trust him either. But if you're comparing him to Papa Grande, then yes.

Of course, if you compared yourself closing to Valverde, I'd say it's a good idea.

Mets expected to make a change at closer


Valverde surrendered three runs Saturday against the Braves in his latest of a string of rough outings. Mets manager Terry Collins said he would address his players before making an official announcement to the media. Vic Black has been putting up zeroes at Triple-A, but his control is still an issue. The Mets might go with a committee.
