Tom Seaver Fan Club

In the span of 3 days, a major weakness is now a team strength for the New York Mets , thanks to the work of GM Omar Minaya and his staff. In a stunning follow up to the signing of record breaking closer Francisco Rodriquez, the team have acquired Mariners all star reliever JJ Putz in a 3 team trade that involved 12 players. New York moved RP Aaron Heilman, folk hero OF Endy Chavez, LH Jason Vargas and 3 minor leaguers. The club received RRP Sean Green and OF Jeremy Reed in the package as well.

Putz(6-5,3.88,15 for 23 in save chances) will serve as a set-up guy for K Rod and features scary stuff with a high 90s fastball and elite drop off slider. He was among the top closers in the game in 07 but battled rib cage and elbow injuries last year. He is a team leader and NY fans will love him. Reed was a top prospect in both the Mariners and White Sox system that can play all 3 OF slots. Green looks like a 6-7th inning reliever. 

Just a great week so far for the club, hats off to management!
