PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) -- Right-hander Marcos Carvajal was claimed by the New York Mets off waivers from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Friday.

The 22-year-old was 2-2 with a 3.86 ERA in 38 games last season with Double-A Montgomery of the Southern League, striking out 70 in 72 1-3 innings. He was 0-2 with a 5.09 ERA in 39 games with Colorado in 2005.

New York opened a roster spot for him by designating right-hander Steve Schmoll for assignment. The Mets have 10 days to trade him, send him outright to the minors or release him.

What are all your thoughts? I think this will be a postivove move, he is very young yet and has a pretty high k ratio.

He is worth a shot.

He's on his fourth team in a single year now. Rockies to Mariners in the Torrealba deal. Mariners DFA and he's picked up by the Marlins. The Marlins, one of the best teams at evaluating pitching talent, then DFA him.

Carvajal is worth a minor league deal, and nothing more.
