Mets sign Scott Atchison

Per Ken Rosenthal, via the Mets Twitter feed, the Mets have signed right handed reliever Scott Atchison to a minor league deal.  Atchison has actually been a solid reliever for the Red Sox, pitching to a 3.18 ERA over the last three seasons, with a very nice 1.58 ERA in 2012.  Atchison does not strike out a ton of batters but also does not walk many batters, either.  Considering the Mets bullpen problems the last few years, Atchison should make the team out of Spring Training and I would not be surprised if he's in the 7th inning mix this year.
