Jeurys Familia is 13-13 in save opportunities this season. Bobby Parnell being hurt and Jenrry Mejia being suspended for steroids, might be a blessing in disguise.
The Mets have not had a great closer since John Franco, and now they have one in Familia.
Familia has been virtually unhittable this season, and beat reporters are going after Terry Collins for "overusing" him. Collins has no choice, Familia has to be inserted into almost every save opportunity just because of how good he's been.
It's going to be hard for Mejia and Parnell to take the job back from Familia. Neither will do it unless he shows signs of regression.
The Mets have a new found "gem" in Familia, and he will be a key player down the stretch for the Mets.
