Minaya Keeps Trading

The New York Mets picked up Dave Williams off the scrap heap today, sending minor league pitcher Robert Manuel to the Reds. The Reds were in the process of releasing Williams, so I guess the Mets didn't want him to get away.

Williams big problem with the Reds was nine homers allowed in 40 innings pitched. He gave up 20 last year for the Pirates in almost 140 innings. I'd like to say it was the move to Great American Ballpark, but seven of the nine against Williams came on the road. His overall road numbers with the Reds were awful, so that doesn't give me much hope that he'll be any good for New York.

Update: MetsBlog.com heard an interview with Minaya on the subject and recalls the salient points.

His ERA+ last year was 97. That's not good, but it's good enough.
