There might not have been a better minor league signing for the New York Mets last year than the one that awarded them with a 2.16 ERA performance. Needless to say, a player’s ERA doesn’t tell their full story, but the way Chris Devenski went from the majors to minors regularly (and with his approval) gave the Mets a regular bullpen piece they could rely on.
It was a year where the Mets set a MLB record for most pitchers used. Devenski was one of many and 4 runs allowed across 16.2 innings with a 0.90 WHIP suggest he should have been used much more than he was.
