Smith Stepping Up

Jim Malony at Mets.com, writes about Joe Smith and how he's stepped up in the pen:


There's no doubt Mets manager Willie Randolph has confidence in the youngster.

In a bullpen with several other more experienced late-inning options, such as Aaron Heilman, Pedro Feliciano, Ambiorix Burgos and Scott Schoenweis, Randolph once again demonstrated his faith in the kid. And Smith delivered.

"Nice job by Joe coming in there and attacking the zone, getting the ball down and going after the tough hitters," Randolph said. "I've got a lot of confidence in him, and because I don't use my bullpen necessarily as seventh, eighth or ninth [roles], everyone's got to be ready. Another good job by Joe. He's done a nice job this year."

I am afraid that this statement is not correct"Nice job by Joe coming in there and attacking the zone, getting the ball down and going after the tough hitters," Randolph said.
