Adam Rubin reports in his blog that Dave Williams is throwing and could be ready to pitch by end of May. Williams had surgery on his neck back in January. In five starts last year he went 3-1 with a 5.59 ERA.
Dave Williams is a blur. A hazy memory from the mass of starters we had last year after the various other staters starting getting hurt of melting down. I vaguely remember him being not quite at the same level as Brian Bannister, but an improvement over Gonzolez or Jose Lima. Even if Williams is back and healthy, I'm not even sure where he'd fall into the rotation. Ahead of Chan Ho Park, but behind Humber and Sosa? Trade bait packaged with Lastings? Someone to just go hang out with DiFelice in the 'it will take a major injury to call me up' club in New Orleans.
Sphere: Related ContentAdam Rubin at his Daily News Blog, reports that the Mets have non tendered Victor Zambrano, making him a free agent.
Rubin also writes that the Mets and Dave Williams have agreed to a one year contract for 2007.
I'd like to sign Zambrano to some sort of contract whether it be a minor league contract, incentive-laden, or a cheap deal with the Mets. He admitted he was hurt even before he came to the Mets, and now that he got his surgery, I think we should take a chance on him and see if he could come back strong and pitch well.
As for Dave Williams, I think theres a good chance he can win the long relief job in the bullpen next year. He pitched very well with the Mets in 2006, and he should be fighting for a rotation spot or a long relief role in 2007.
UPDATE: 9:03pm. Rotoworld reports the contract Williams has signed is worth $1.25 Million for one year.
