March 27, 200521 yr Al Leiter will provide innings and will be a calming presence with the younger players. :lolup 721951[/snapback] Well, if he doesn't have a good season, at least we didn't trade AJ Burnett to get him. :whistle 721977[/snapback] well.. that's not fair... the Mets traded for Al in before '98 and he had a great season 2.47 ERA .. and the mets got way more than their money's worth out of Al... pitched them into the playoffs in '99 started game one of the WS in '00.. That Al is better than anything AJ has been thus far in his career... problem is.. THAT Al is gone.. and THIS Al is the one i described a few posts ago.. d.

I'm happy with that. 722021[/snapback] You signed Pedro. You didn't trade him.
March 27, 200521 yr Author Al Leiter will provide innings and will be a calming presence with the younger players. :lolup 721951[/snapback] if he gives you at least 180 innings he has given you innings. he went 173 2/3 last year for a garbage of a mets team. he will go at least 180 this year.
March 27, 200521 yr You saw how he pitched today, that's how he pitched 3/4 of the season last year. I don't care if he was pitching on the Yankees, if he walks batters at the same rate and can't make hitters miss his cutter, he'll be that bad for the Marlins -- no matter how good the rest of the tam is.
March 27, 200521 yr here's a typical Leiter at bat: 721764[/snapback] This must be witout a runner on base, because Leiter is notorious for checking on runners.
