How many guys are rookies at the age of 32?? How many of those guys go on to make any contribution at all?

You Mets fans are too cruel. I have a bunch of great memories of Billy Taylor from his Oakland days, and wen I met him at an A's FanFest, he was a great guy. My buddy and I would watch every A's game we could, and after each of Billy's dominant saves, we'd stand, shake hands, and say, "Shake my hand like I'm Billy Taylor and you are, too." The tradition survives to this day. Thanks for all the great games and great memories, Billy!

We Met fans aren't cruel, we are just tired of players who are great coming to the Mets and stinking up the place. Sorry thats what Billy-Boy did, and we Met fans call them as we see them. He sucked when he pitched with the Mets, end of story.

Billy was a rookie at age 32 and came to the Mets at 37. I remember when we traded for him Suzyn Waldheim on the FAN said what a great trade the Mets had made. I think she was just full of it because she doesn't really like the Mets. Overall, he's one of the worst, definitely in the league of Rojas, Rich Rodriguez, Komayama, and Allen Watson.

The reasons given for his gross futility were varied. One of them was that a high school or college pitcher he was mentoring was struck by lightning and killed shortly after Taylor's arrival with the Mets.

Izzy had run out of chances with the Mets, but I have no idea why the Mets never thought to give him a few week audition in short relief before trading him for the aged veteran.
