Mets Claim Fernando Nieve
According to Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle, the Mets have claimed right-hander Fernando Nieve off irrevocable waivers from the Astros.
Nieve squeezed in just 10 2/3 innings last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2007. He could be used in middle relief in New York, but will need a really nice showing over the last few weeks of spring training to make the squad. Nieve posted a 4.20 ERA over 96 1/3 innings during the 2006 season.

Big deal, Mets fans. It's just depth. It's not like you will have to see him that much anyway.

As an Astros fan, I hate to see them lose ANY pitching. But this guy...well, good riddance.
He logged some good innings in 2006 as a 4/5 starter, but since the surgery hasn't panned out to much.
Regardless, I hope he does well in NY. More importantly, I hope we get something good from the Mets in return.
