Anyone know anything about JA Happ?

[PatrickMcIrish]

He's starting for the Phillies tomorrow. I can't help but like the Mets at -118, is this cat supposed to be a superstar one day? Either way it's going to be hard to avoid some sort of adjustment period when facing ML hitters. Also he's lefthanded, though the Mets have cooled off they are still the best at hitting them in the NL by far. Anyway if anybody knows anything it would be appreciated. I played Mets once already but I am seriously thinking about hitting the game once or twice more unless I find out something about this kid that may slow me down.

BTW I am not a big Sosa fan, the final factor that made me pull the trigger on the Mets is the bullpens. I think if it comes down to that (and it probably will) I got a noticable edge over the Philly pen. Good luck on your wagers.

why comparing with Zack Segovia?

 

[PatrickMcIrish]

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

 

[GreenDoberman]

DCS,
Just cut and paste from the stats page. In order to get the headers in there it was easiest to leave Segovia on there. No reason other than that.
