The Mets shored up their bullpen yesterday when they came to an agreement with left handed relief pitcher Scott Schoeneweis.  They’ll be paying him $10.8 million over three years.  Schoeneweis split time between the Blue Jays and the Reds last year and after getting traded to Cincinnati, he was virtually unhittable.

This is a versatile guy who’s done it all in his career.  Need a closer? He can fill in.  Need a spot starter?  He can do that too.  Primarily he’ll be used against lefties, who hit just .231 against him over his career and over the past three years, left handed hitters have managed just one homerun off of him.
