STEVE REED METS MIDDLE RELIEF BIRTHDAY QUOTE OF THE DAY

Steve Reed was born on this day in 1965. Reed spent his career as a middle relief pitcher. He played for the Mets briefly in 2002, pitching in 24 games with a 2.08 ERA.

He is probably best known in Mets history for being traded to the Mets from the Padres. In return for Reed, the Mets sent the Padres Jason Bay. Yes, the same Jason Bay who the Mets signed as a free agent in 2010.  We all know how that turned out.

The Mets Baseball Quote of the Day is Reed's description of middle relief pitchers

"We are the lowest creatures on earth."
