2010 Analysis: Dillon Gee
I want to believe that Dillon Gee will continue to be as good as he was in five starts in September. I’d like to pencil him in to a 2011 rotation spot right now, and expect him to give the Mets 6 to 7 innings every five days, limiting opposing batters to a .212 batting … Read more
Mets Game 159: Loss to Brewers
Brewers 9 Mets 2 I believe the term is “playing out the string”. Game Notes Tough game for Dillon Gee, but hey, we couldn’t expect him to continue to pitch as far above expectations as he had done in his previous starts. Gee allowed 4 runs — 2 earned — on 7 hits and 3 … Read more

Game Notes Dillon Gee made the most of his MLB debut, allowing one run on two hits and three walks in a 7-inning, 86-pitch effort to earn his first career win. Gee relied heavily on a 12-6 overhand curveball and … Read more
Freddy Garcia Released
Wait, Freddy, you can’t quit — because YOU’RE FIRED! The Freddy Garcia Experiment has officially ended, as the Mets released the righthander. Hat tip to Walnutz. Garcia never could get his velocity back up to a point where he could succeed at the MLB level — which is a major problem for someone who spent … Read more
