Rehabbing Kazmir saves Mets headache
Mention Scott Kazmir and any Mets fan will immediately start shaking his head in disgust.
In 2004 the Amazin’s top prospect was dealt to the Rays for Victor Zambrano and Bartolomé Fortunato.

Kazmir has fared slightly better — accumulating a 51-41 record and a 3.85 ERA in his major league career.

And following what has been a week of painful losses the last thing fans need is a painful reminder of the one that got away.
