He’s no Michael King, but he has his use. The New York Mets refuse to go long without making any sort of a move. Thursday’s addition, along with stealing an unsigned prospect from the New York Yankees, had them reuniting with a very useful part of last year’s roster depth, Kevin Herget.
Spanning 12 innings in 6 games, Herget pitched to a 3.00 ERA. Not half-bad for a journeyman reliever in his mid-30s who went into the season with only 24 games of MLB experience.
Swiped away by the Atlanta Braves via waivers, Herget posted excellent minor league numbers for both organizations.
