[metsguy234]

I don't get it...

[metsguy234]

Omar helped our bullpen so much, and then he does this? WTF?

[TheNamelessPoet]

$$$ thats why

[koolzach1]

Ouch this will hurt the bullpen really bad............ or not. He was good last year, but his career ERA is near 5, so I don't trust him.

You absolutely cannot judge a lefty specialist by his ERA. Schoeneweis is a below average reliever, relatively old, and making money. Robertson is younger, and cheap. It's a salary dump, pure and simple. Plus, the Mets have a better lefty in Feliciano.

1) WTF is a lefty specialist?

A left-handed reliever used primarily to get left-handed batters out.

2) 3.35 ERA is below average?

1)

You absolutely cannot judge a lefty specialist by his ERA.

2) His ERA in 2007 was 5.03.
3) His career ERA is 4.91.
4) He's had 3 years with an above-average ERA - 2003, 2005, 2008.

3) Still- who the fucck is Connor Robertson?

A generic, nothing special reliever.

[metsguy234]

A generic, nothing special reliever.

Then why did we trade Scotty Schoenweis for him?

[TheNamelessPoet]

because it saved u 2 million

3 years/$10.8M (2007-09)
signed by Mets as a free agent 1/07
07:$3.6M, 08:$3.6M, 09:$3.6M
acquired by Arizona in trade from NY Mets 12/12/08, with Mets paying $1.6M of Schoeneweis' $3.6M salary for 2009

[HoustonGM]

because it saved u 3-4 million

Exactly.

A lefty specialist is a left handed pitcher, usually one who throws pretty hard, who will come out to get one or two lefties out. And with lefty specialists, you can not judge them by their ERA. This is because they throw so few innings, that the sample size is simply to small. Connor Robertson is a younger, cheaper reliever then Schoweinsis who is also better at this stage.
