The Mets announced that they signed right-hander Andrew Carpenter to a minor league contract and assigned him to Double-A Binghamton (Twitter link). Carpenter elected free agency this week after the Blue Jays designated him for assignment.
Carpenter appeared in six games for the Blue Jays last month, allowing seven hits and six walks in nine innings, while striking out nine. The 27-year-old spent most of the season at Triple-A Las Vegas, where he posted a 3.38 ERA with 6.8 K/9 and 2.3 BB/9 in 74 2/3 innings as a starter and reliever.
YES!!! I’ve always wanted Drew Carpenter on my team!
Ut-oh. Now that the Mets have Carpenter Ruben Amaro Jr will try to bring him back.
maybe he can develop into a reliever, he will never get a chance to start with the 14+ possible starters the Mets already have in majors and AAA that could start in 2013
