FORMER BREWER DEJEAN SHIPPED TO THE METS
Mike DeJean, who was having an absolutely terrible year in Baltimore, has been given a change of scenery and is now a New York Metropolitan (read about the trade here).
 
DeJean's ERA was over 9.00 for a while in Baltimore, but has lowered his ERA to the mid-6's after having an ERA of 4.05 in June and July.
 
I lost a lot of respect for Mike DeJean last July. He was in the middle of a rough stretch, where I think he blew three or four saves in a row. A fan was heckling him (and rightly so) while DeJean was warming up to go in and pitch the ninth, and DeJean displayed his rabbit ears by getting into an argument with the fan, even reaching for the classic "meet me in the parking lot" line. The fan actually said something like "you're about to go pitch in a Major League game and you're wasting your time with a drunk fan? What is wrong with you?".
 
For the record, DeJean went in and blew the save...
