Another Roster Question - Steven Register
Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2008 1:02 am
He's the guy that one of our scouts (according to the article, it was Jerry Krause - yes, the Jerry Krause - who knew?!? - I sure didn't - but he's a mets scout now)
Anyway, Jerry told the mets to select this guy via Rule 5 draft so the Mets paid the Rockies $50,000 and Register became ours. He lead the minors last year with 37 saves, but that was in AA.
According to the rules of Rule 5 draft - if Stevie doesn't make the ballclub on opening day, Colorado can buy him back, and our pen is mighty crowded. There's a bunch of guys ahead of him in terms of experience and MLB ready talent.
