Brandon Lyon was a low risk, high reward type of guy. He shined in the early half the season, but lately his stats have diminished. He was very trustworthy up until late May early June. The line that probably killed his Mets career was vs the Nationals, in a game most Mets fans try not to remember.
On the other Shaun Marcum is probably the best 1-10 pithcer in baseball. The Mets knew his track record and knew all about his injuries. It was a "big risk" that didn't pan out. Are the Mets better off without Marcum? Yes and No. No for the now being and yes for when Jon Niese is able to come back. For now Carlos Torres who posts an under 0.60 ERA out of the bullpen, will be a fine fill in for the now being.
