Mets Take Mota From Tribe

11
Vote

The Cleveland Indians designated reliever Guillermo Mota for assignment on Aug. 11 and have finally found a taker in the New York Mets.

Mota, who was acquired by the Indians from the Boston Red Sox in the January Coco Crisp was sent to the AL East leaders for a player to be named or cash to be decided by Sept. 29.

Mota was designated for assignment after posting a 1-3 record and 6.21 ERA in 34 outings this year.

At the time of the Crisp trade, Mota considered a key acquisition because the veteran was expected to serve as the primary setup man. However, after starting the season poorly, Mota relegated to spot assignments often in blowouts.

Personally I would have liked to see Mota stick around and see how he did in spring training next year, but oh well.

Mota really fell from grace. I think its a decent move to sure up the Mets bullpen. With all the Mets SP woes, if the Mets are going to make it, then they will need to win with their bullpen.

The whole Mota/Piazza affair makes me dislike this acquisition.

The question is where are the Mets going to get starting pitching from?

Maybe every fifth game they can have every reliever take two innings.

i said pickup. mota still has some life in him. i remember him as a serviceable setup man for eric gagne, so if he can revert back to then, he will prove to be a good pickup for the mets.

ACTUALLY HIGHER POINTS THAN MANNY MOTA.. WILLIE WHO IS ACTUALLY SPELLED WILLY MOTA WHOM PLAYED IN THE HALL OF FAME GAME AND HOMERED AND DID GET TO PLAY ALOT WITH THE MAJORS DURING THE SPRING TRAINING SEASON FOR 2006 WAS OUT THE WHOLE SEASON ON DL LIST DUE TO A KNEE/SHIN INJURY. WILLY MOTA AND MANNY MOTA ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON. ALTHOUGH WILLY IS VERY KIND AND UNDERSTANDS THE CONFUSION WITH THE NAMES. HE IS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE 2007 SEASON. HIS KNEE/SHIN ARE BETTER AND HE IS WORKING OUT AND CONDITIONING HIMSELF WHILE IN DOM. REP. THE RED SOX HOPEFULLY WILL GIVE HIM THE OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE UP IN THE LEAGUE REF HIS BEING VERY YOUNG WITH ALOT OF TALENT.
