    this was a good buy. he cost minimum so if he's not back to where he was before he got hurt it's a minimal loss. it was a major league deal, but i'm guessing they will test him out in ST and not just give him a spot in the rotation. def worth the gamble for 300k.

    glad it's finally official, metsblog.com posted about this over a week ago, couldn't find it anywhere else though.

    clearly this wasn't anything like the big move we needed, but it was a smart chance to take.

    definitely not gonna help your sales though lolol.

    If Escobar can stay healthy the Mets got a guy with some of the best stuff in baseball. He has at least 4 plus pitches, although he probably won't need to use them all out of the bullpen. I like the signing a lot and Mets fans should absolutely love Kelvim provided he stays healthy.

    Edit: tsxxxxxxxxxxx, I was under the impression that he's going to pitch out of the pen. I think that's how he was marketing himself this off-season.

    honestly, i have no idea where he was going..just found out it's bp i just meant that if he doesn't work out in ST they will throw him in the minors for the money he's paid
