The Mets are rumored to be dipping into the aging pitcher pool again, this time they are interested in ex-Braves starter / closer / 21 year veteran John Smoltz. Yep, 31 year old Ben Sheets was apparently too much of a risk for the Mets to invest in, yet even more apparently they are willing to take a chance on Smoltz. Last year, while pitching for St. Louis and Boston (not at the same time of course) Smoltz was 3 and 8, with a 6.35 ERA and a 1.449 WHIP. If the Mets actually pull the trigger on Smoltz I have some other pitching staff additions for them.
