http://tsn.ca/mlb/story/?id=391830Igarashi had an 8.68 ERA in nine games with the Pirates during spring training.
He was 4-1 with one save and a 4.66 ERA in 45 relief appearances last year for the Mets.
This is another one of those deals where AA tries to prove to the rest of the league that he can make useless trades like everyone else.

Another power strikeout pitcher that can't command his pitches. We just have him in AAA in case he learns how to command the ball.

Expect nothing less than a Bautista-level transformation.

Laugh-out-loud funny!
And he, too, came over from the Pirates.

AA: "Now nobody can say we don't have a Japanese pitcher on our team. This should calm everyone who was upset we didn't acquire Darvish"
