It's official
The Benitez deal is done and two more minor league pitchers are on their way to the Mets organization. Anderson Garcia is 22 years old at Class-A Battle Creek. He's thrown 76 innings this year, giving 57 hits and 36 walks while striking out 62. He's 3-6 with a 3.32 ERA. Ryan Biconda is 24 at Class-A Tampa. In 48 1/3 innigns, he's given up 48 hits and 20 walks while striking out 30. His record is 3-2 with a 3.54 ERA. So in addition to being old for their leagues, they're not exactly dominating the younger competition. So Jason Anderson seems like the prize, if you can call him that. That is, if you don't consider the absence of Benitez a prize in and of itself. Now if we can get Cedeno cut, we'll be all set. ¶ joe | 1:20 AM |
