The Rule 5 Draft

Today is the Rule 5 draft. The Mets have selected two players.

Star-divide

The two players selected thus far are Darren O'Day, a reliever from the Angels, and Rocky Cherry, a reliever from the Orioles.

Both have solid minor league numbers though Cherry's major league numbers are awful. Both have solid splits against both sides of the plate, which is important because we need to avoid specialists in the bullpen.*


*Show can specialize in not getting batters out in blowout games*

Wow, Cherry is 6-5

Well, the last time we got an Orioles pitcher who struggled in the bigs it turned out pretty well. Here’s hoping lightning strikes twice.

You have to be big with a name like that.

The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

Aside from anything else...

Rocky Cherry is a hilarious name. It sounds like something that would get made up for porn.

I like the way you think

And don’t forget that we have a Rod in our bullpen now too

Yeah

I was in Baskin Robbins last night and bought a pint of Rocky Cherry.
