Someone sign Jerrod Riggan! It's too bad Chiba Lotte are overstocked with talented suketto already.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't the deadline to sign foreign players end already? I think a NPB team needs to take another chance on Riggan after the season.
Riggan has been perfect in rehab so far, 2 wins and 0 losses with a 0.00 ERA, 3 BB's, and 12K's in 8 games/3 starts. [Minor League Stats]

Looks like he got a promotion to Binghamton (AA) and he's still doing fine.
Maybe he'll get a shot with an MLB team, maybe the Mets?

The Mets might bring him up as a September callup. If that goes well they might bring him back on a minor league contract for next year, with an invitation to spring training. Another MLB team might take a chance on him with a minor league contract next spring, too, if all goes well in September with an invitation to spring training.

Doesn't Riggan have an agent that can work on getting him back to Japan so he doesn't have to keep doing it himself? Scouts and managers aren't looking on this site for new players, not to knock the site, it's great. But he seems to be pitching well enough after his surgery, so he should let his performance do the talking - and an agent.

If Riggan has an agent, which I'm sure he'll get since he has a good record in NPB and is pitching well in the minors, why wouldn't he look at signing an MLB contract? With the dearth of good arms in the Mets bullpen, I'm sure they are giving him a long look.

Looks like he is coming back well from his elbow surgery. Seems like some Japanese team would want him back after the numbers he put up in 2003 and 2004.
