2000  5.56   -4
2001  3.16   35 (led AL in RSAA and neutral wins, 3rd in ERA)
2002  6.54  -12

4) The Mets sent INF Marco Scutaro to the minors and called up OF Raul Gonzalez.

Scutaro's off to a .429 OPS/-3 RCAA start in his first 13 major league games (15 PA).

Gonzalez, 28, has a .597 OPS/-2 RCAA in 25 major league games (45 PA) with the Cubs, Reds and now Mets over the past 3 years. He was just acquired as the PTBNL in the Shawn Estes deal.

5) Reds SS Barry Larkin had to leave yesterday's game, due to tightness in his neck.
