Rest-of-Season Projections
Heads to minors
The Mets assigned Caminero to their minor-league camp Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
With 149 career major-league appearances, Caminero was one of the more seasoned relievers vying for a bullpen gig at big-league camp. After spending the past two seasons in Japan before inking a minor-league deal with the Mets over the winter, Caminero struggled to make an impression this spring. He was lit up for seven runs (six earned) on six hits and two walks over 3.1 innings across four appearances.

We all know about Jeurys Familia, but Jason Collette tells fantasy owners who they should also be focused on in the Mets' bullpen, and on every NL team.

Caminero's blazing fastball seems suited for the late innings, but his other metrics say otherwise. Over the first couple months of the season, the right-hander gave up 11 runs (10 earned) on 23 hits while walking as many batters as he struck out in his 16.1 innings of work. He raised his stock during the summer months by posting a 2.28 ERA, which led the Pirates to sell high and ship him off to the Mariners in August. Unfortunately, the 29-year-old reverted back to his old ways upon the switch to the Junior Circuit, as his BB/9 climbed to 5.0 while serving up three home runs in just 19.2 innings, helping his ERA and WHIP to rise to 3.66 and 1.63, respectively. Caminero could develop into a late-inning reliever given his lively heater, but he'll be relegated to middle relief until he can display an ability to command his offerings and keep the ball in the park. He signed to play in Japan in 2017, but at age 30 next year could return to play in MLB at some point.
