No way. He spent one incredible half season and one even better post season with the Stros. Mets. Or Royals. Mets.

Tigers signed RHP Mark Montgomery to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
The former Yankees prospect had a nice season at Triple-A in the Cardinals' organization in 2017, holding a 2.43 ERA and 73/15 K/BB ratio over 66 2/3 innings. Montgomery will try to win a bullpen spot in spring training.

Which is funny, because Mets fans still hate him.

wonder why he never got a shot last year when we needed bullpen help?

I'm not a scout, but I don't understand why Montgomery wasn't given more of a chance, especially with how poorly the bullpen performed and how Matt Bowman was sucking wind for four months. Everything I've read says he had a 70 grade slider and he seemed to solve his control issues.

A combination of an overcrowded ballot of deserving nominees and dumb voters.

Yeah, I wonder the same thing. They didn't have anything to lose, really.

great question in hummels chat today

Any chance we bring back Allen Craig? He's a free agent, and he's a better base runner/fielder than Matt Carpenter.
