Mets Release Jose Valverde, Fire Hitting Coach
http://dlvr.it/5nSP2p By Charlie Wilmoth
The Mets have released Jose Valverde and fired hitting coach Dave Hudgens.
Valverde allowed four runs while blowing a save in the Mets’ 5-3 loss to the
Pirates Monday. He had a 5.66 ERA with 23 strikeouts and 10 walks in 20 2/3
innings this season after the Mets signed him to a minor-league deal in
February.
His career began heading downhill with the Tigers in 2012, and he posted a
5.59 ERA in 19 1/3 innings before being released by Detroit last season. His
fastball has lost velocity over the years, falling from 95.8 MPH in 2009 to
92.8 MPH in 2013 and 2014.
Hudgens had served as the Mets’ hitting coach since 2011. The Mets’ offense
currently ranks 10th in the National League in runs scored and has endured
poor seasons from Ruben Tejada and Lucas Duda, as well as disappointing
performances from newcomers Curtis Granderson and Chris Young.
