Tom Seaver Fan Club

The Mets solidified their bullpen earlier this week when they inked Guillermo Mota to a two year deal for $5 million.  That is, they solidified their bullpen for sometime after May because Mota will miss the first 50 games due to a performance enhancing drug suspension.

Mota was lights out for the Mets when they got him from the Indians part way through 2006.  He walks more people then I’d like but he’s oddly more effective against left handers then he is against right handers.  And $2.5 million, even for 2/3 thirds of a season, is a bargain these days.
