Burgos likely heading to Mets

**The Bad Guy** · 12-05-2006, 07:38 PM

Can any Royals fans give me any info on Burgos?

I know he's 22 and throwns hard.

In return, Royals would get Brian Bannister.

When he's on --- he's on... Throws pretty hard and sometimes gets alittle to anxious, which in turn makes him kinda wild... He had his good moments last year, and also had his bad times...

He'll do well with the Mets, due to the fact that every player the Royals get rid of turns into an All Star...

Throws very hard and very wild. Mike McDougal part II

Just one of many Royals pitchers throughout the last decade and a half who have "stuff" but zero command.

I like the deal from a Mets perspective. Bannister was just going to be a AAA pitcher. They needed middle relief help with Bradford gone.

If he's got stuff and is wild, Rick Peterson will fix him.

How many games did he blow for us last year? I ran out of fingers.

There are a million rumors floated right now, with the winter meetings taking place. I would be surprised if this deal went down. Burgos is a cheap 22 year old with an electric arm. Wild, certainly, but these guys do not grow on trees.

How is Bannister? Starter or reliever? Any info?

I watched him pitch this year - I didn't think he threw too hard or had bad control.

He is Floyd Bannister's kid. 22 yrs old. He was doing great till he hurt his hamstring running the bases and went down hill.

ORLANDO, Fla. - The Mets, seeking to bolster their bullpen with a young power arm, are closing in on a trade in which they would land right-hander Ambiorix Burgos from the Royals for a pitching prospect, FOXSports.com has learned.

Burgos, 22, was 4-5 with a 5.52 ERA last season for the Royals in 73 1/3 innings. He had greater success as a rookie in 2005, going 3-5 with a 3.98 ERA in 63 1/3 innings.

The Mets recently suffered two defections from their bullpen, losing free-agent right-hander Chad Bradford to the Orioles and free-agent right-hander Roberto Hernandez to the Indians. A third reliever, right-hander Duaner Sanchez, is coming off surgery to repair a separated right shoulder.

he is a young starting pitcher. Burgos had one of the worst season for a RP in the HISTORY of baseball last year.
