Tom Seaver Fan Club

With Pedro Martinez’s injury and the age of Orlando Hernandez and Tom Glavine, the Mets need insurance when it comes to the starting rotation.  They got a little bit of insurnace by signing Aaron Sele to a minor league contract.  Sele had a pretty mediocre year last season for the Dodgers but he didn’t throw nearly as bad as he did from 2003 through 2005.  Sele’s last really good year was 2001 when he went 15-5 for the Mariners.

This is a pretty low risk move though.  If he doesn’t make the big league club, the Mets aren’t on the hook for much cash.  If he shows he might have something left in the tank, then the team could have a bargain on it’s hands.
