Posted May 16, 201014 yr The Mets have released Kiko Calero, tweets Newsday's David Lennon. The club had signed Calero to a minor league deal in March, after the right-hander received a somewhat unexpected lack of interest for most of the offseason. Calero posted a 1.95 ERA in 67 relief appearances for the Marlins in 2009, but health was a concern for the 35-year-old heading into this year. He failed to crack the Mets' big league roster and has spent the season pitching for Triple-A Buffalo. In ten appearances for the Bisons, Calero pitched 17 innings and recorded a 10.59 ERA. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/05/mets-release-kiko-calero.html Anyone against bringing him back?
May 16, 201014 yr I don't care if he's struggling, injured or whatever, bring him back on a minor league contract, we know if he's on what he can do! Give him as many minor league appearances he needs to get back to form and lets bring him back up.
May 16, 201014 yr Author Heh. Yeah. 10.59 ERA in AAA. Heh. Who cares? Like MMP said, give him all the time he needs down there. If he doesn't get back, it's a minor league contract.
May 17, 201014 yr Minor league deal would be worth it. We'll probably lose an arm in the year so it would be nice to use him possibly. He did well with us so it's worth the try.
