he got screwed by the current system and his sucking early.
I'm not guaranteeing money to a RP. He has had some sticky stuff changes. We control him through his productive years. You want to buy out age 34 and 35? Even for a team option I doubt it's worth it unless he wants to take a 2 million per year deal for 3 years with low team options.
Everyone doesn't need an extension. In fact most don't. Really just young position players.
Would a player like Swanson consider giving a home town discount? The only reason this crossed my mind is he probably doesn't have any endorsement deals anywhere but here
I get the hesitancy with the volatility of bullpen arms. The way I look at him is that he is probably in the 90th percentile in effective relief pitchers and his arm is fresh. I don't think he is getting by on smoke and mirrors so I'd be inclined to keep him around if the price is right.
left handed relievers also find a way to stick around until their late 30s so I don't think his production will fall off much.

Why can't a guy like Matzek go three innings if he hasn't pitched in 3 days?
He didn't even throw 15 pitches.

Need two-three more here please.
Looking back this is going to be a painful series to wonder about. We should have won all 5. This Mets team is terrible. The 2 losses will have been 1 run losses
Jesus, Smith. They're crushing his ass.

Yay, another day in purgatory. Really sucks because we should have swept those ****ers.
Damn good win.
