Brian Bannister looks like the real deal, doesn't he?

5-6 is not a great record, but he has an ERA of 3.87 and a WHIP of 1.21. The league is hitting .245 off of him.

Wonder why the Mets got rid of him?

How about a 2 hit shut out last night against the A's. Pretty impressive. Boy the Mets must be kicking themselves.

He does seem like a solid pitcher who can have a good career. As far as the Mets go, when they dealt him it was trading from a strength (rotation) for a weakness (bullpen).

He doesn't give up many walks or HRs which is always an appreciated fact.

His 2 key stats are a 1.14 WHIP And his 3.28 ERA. He won again yesterday.
