Hisanori Takahashi has a chance as 2nd lefty in pen

After rumors this past March about the Mets interested in Lefties Ron Mahay, and Joe Beimel the Mets look pretty set with what they have. The 34 year old Japanese Rookie Hisanori Takahashi, has been lights out this spring, as he is 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA, and has not walked one batter, while striking out 9 batters in 6 innings of work. Takahashi looks to be someone the Mets have not had since about 2006 in Darren Oliver in a lefty long relief man.

I think Hisanori looks more like a starter just they way he pitches and his screwball is crazy. But he could supply another long relief man in the Pen along with another lefty. The only thing is Takahashi does not look like a situational lefty which is something the Mets need to think about.
