Finally, the Mets have made a move this off-season.The Mets officially signed former Angles starter Kelvim Escobar to a one year deal, and, according to the Daily News, want the star crossed picther to become the Mets new set-up man.
Escobar has pitched in only one game in two years, because of arm trouble, which he fits right in with the Mets, who spent more time at the ER than on the diamond in 2009.
In 2007, Escobar was great for the Anaheim Angels winning 18 games. He was teammates with Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez during their years' at Anaheim, and now it appears that they will be the eighth and ninth inning for the Mets come 2010.
Escobar is 85-74 with a 4.09 ERA in 202 games as a starter and 16-17 with 59 saves and a 4.44 ERA in 209 games as a reliever.

They have yet to address gaping holes in the rotation, left field and first base, as well as questions about second base and the bench. There is a lot of work for Omar Minaya to do, and time is running out.
