Mets Release Oliver Perez

The Mets have released Oliver Perez, and for the second time in three days, Mets fans have rejoiced.

According to Sandy Alderson, the organization felt that Ollie's velocity never got back up to a level where he could be a consistent pitcher.

I feel that the Mets gave Perez every chance to make this team. It's just that you're trying to make the team as a lefty specialist...you..um...need to be able to throw lefties out.

By releasing Perez, the Mets have eaten away $18 million. Best $18 million the organization has spent.

David Wright (Spring) Strikeout Counter: $0.60
