One of the nicest person. Met several times and always nice to sign autographs, talk about baseball etc...
I'm glad he's got a chance to pitch in the major after the White Sox can't give him a chance and he's happy that he's traded to the team where he's from.

Edwin is the second former St. Francis College, Brooklyn, NY baseball player to make the majors. John Halama, now of Oakland, and formerly of Houston and Seattle, was the first a few years ago. It is great to see a local player from a local college make the Mets.

This guy is horrible. He's a NY kid which is nice but doesn't seem to have any talent beyond AAA. 27 year old rookies don't usually pay much dividends. The other day he did a bad job against the Brewers. I really don't want to see him on a revamped Met team in 2004.

Edwin Almonte spent one year with the Mets, 2003, which accounted for the whole of his big league career. He surrendered home runs to future Hall of Famers in his first and final games -- to the Braves' Chipper Jones and the Marlins' Ivan Rodriguez, respectively.
He was one of the pitchers the Mets received from the White Sox in exchange for Roberto Alomar, after Alomar disappointed in New York. The other was Royce Ring; both didn't do much in the Big Apple.
Also, if my research is correct, he had the highest single-season Mets ERA (11.12 mark in 12 games) among pitchers with at least 10 appearances, until Eric O'Flaherty worsted it in 2015 with a 13.50 ERA in 16 games. The previous holder of the dubious title was Tom Martin, who posted a 10.06 ERA in 14 games in 2001.

In May 2004, I sent an autograph to Almonte care of the Red Sox. I don't know why -- he wasn't with them at that time, I don't think, and he never actually played for them at the big league level. I think he must've been on their 40-man roster and I assumed the request would work its way to him. It never did and I didn't get that one back.
Anywho, he didn't do much with the Mets. In fact, his ERA exceeded 10 by his third appearance and ended over 10 when all was said and done.
