[yeezus]

like, why not just sign the guy??

 

[thewupk]

Will this be a yearly thing now?

 

[bravos4evr]

damn, Akeel Morris is a K machine with BB issues. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=12185&position=P

dude averages 10+ K/9 if they can reign him in a bit, buy has future closer written all over him. makes trading Vizcaino a lot easier.

It's quite the drama: What month will the Mets trade for Kelly Johnson this year?

 

[PurpleBrave]

Who will be the next free player we give away? Ogando?

Looks like a decent return on Johnson. Morris has been on the Mets' 40-man for the past two years.

Actually saw Akeel Morris in Altoona on Sunday and he gave up a no doubter to Meadows. Seemed to have a funky delivery, I think he was sitting about 92.
