Share your memories of Scott Erickson HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY: Phil Thiegou July 23, 2004 He was VERY impressive last night (Mon. 7/l9/04...the l9th...how ironic) in his Mets debut. After magically injuring his hamstring and a less than stellar rehab stint with Norfolk, he did very well against the Fish. Too bad the Bullpen screwed things up for him. Hopefully he can do this the rest of his time here. lf not, he had an impressive Major League career. And more important, he goes to bed every night with Lisa Guerrero. So even if everything goes south for him on the field, he has something impressive off the field. You Go Scott! Mr. Sparkle August 3, 2004 I don't get it. I was against them signing this clown in the first place. But I preferred him over James Baldwin. He wasn't that good of a pitcher when he was healthy really only having 4 or 5 good seasons and his last good one being 1998. He was injured all of last year which made him immediately attractive to the Mets. An often injured, older, high ERA pitcher is not the type of guy you want to help your team win. When he was injured warming up for his first start in April I was relieved that we would be spared for the time being of seeing him shelled. But I knew eventually we would see it. So his first start was somewhat effective despite him giving up 8 hits in 5 innings. Then the debacle in Montreal. Then the release. Did they not know this was going to happen? If you put that much time in to this guy why release him after two starts? They shouldn't have even bothered in the first place. At least his wife is hot. Anthony September 15, 2004 This guy was a good pitcher throughout his career. However, when the Mets signed him, it was just another of many examples of them picking up players when they are washed up. And they say they are going with a "youth movement"? Please. murphy August 18, 2005 The Mets signed broken down vets Erickson and James Baldwin hoping to match the success the White Sox had in signing one-year wonder Esteban Loaiza in 2003. The Mets front office was probably kicking themselves because Loaiza asked for a spring training invite in 2003, but the Mets refused. Loaiza, of course, ended up winning 21 games for the Sox that year. So the Mets tried to catch similar lightning in a bottle by copying the Sox. Obviously it didn't work as Erickson and Baldwin were flat out putrid. Most of all, the Mets demonstrated that they did not have any kind of plan as an organization, except to copy moves made by another team and praying for divine intervention. The front office last year was a mess. Alex December 5, 2022 Scott Erickson was one of those pitchers that was not as good as the hype surrounding him during his playing days would suggest, but still somewhat better than what one remembers 20 years on. He was a workhorse and an innings-eater who led the league in wins one year, 1991, then losses two years after that. By the time he arrived in New York, he was way past his prime and was just a guy to patch a hole on that dark-ages 2004 team. He was one of a handful of Quadruple-A players and washed up pitchers who were never that great to begin with, like James Baldwin, who earned time with the club. I remember him being with the club, but that's about it. I didn't recall that his first start with the team was actually awesome, as he allowed just one earned run in six innings of work for the no-decision. His second start was terrible and it sealed his fate—that was his last appearance with the team. I also didn't recall that he played a couple years after leaving the Mets. I assumed they were his last rodeo. Flitgun Frankie September 10, 2024 I remember Erickson from his days with the Twins, and you know how some pitchers look so smooth and easy and everything’s graceful, like Warren Spahn or Ron Guidry or Sandy Koufax? This guy was the opposite. Everything looked like hard work and struggle for him even when he was having a good game. It was kind of painful to watch. But he was a good pitcher, no doubt about that. Not Sandy Koufax, but who is (besides Sandy Koufax)?
