Monday Memories: Mota? Try Rojas!
How else can I describe my feelings towards today's memory? Why would I remember such a person? Why did the Mets out any kind of trust into this guy's arm? Who in the world could I be so bitter about? Why am I asking so many questions? Today's memory is none other than... (wait for it)
Mel Rojas! *crack of lightning*
Yes, Mel Rojas. Everyone remembers Mel, right? 54 earned runs and 36 walks in just over 84 innings to give him a 5.76 ERA. Yep, he was some talented pitcher! Or am I just being sarcastic...
Where in the world has Mel been since his Mets days? Anyone have a clue?

Wow. That really is a healthy ERA for such a dismal end to his career. Who knew...

He had a few very good years then suddenly and completely lost it. I wonder what happened?

My research shows that after leaving the Mets in 1998, Rojas pitched for the Dodgers, Tigers, and Expos in 1999, compiling an 18.00 ERA in 14.0 IP with a 2.21 WHIP. This disaster forced him into retirement, but somehow he had a very healthy 3.82 career ERA over 10 seasons, with a 34-31 record and 126 saves.
