Hawkins put up a 3.64 ERA to go with a 1.38 WHIP and 23:13 K:BB ratio in 42 innings last season with the Angels.

He is also, apparently a vegan (in case you wanted to know) with a kick ass nickname according to former Angels teammate C.J. Wilson.

@LaTroyHawkins32 cool man! Lots of options for the #veganvigilante in NYC

If you're like me you might hav

generic diflucan

e wondered if this meant the end of the team's pursuit of Brian Wilson. The team has brought in several arms on minor league deals and after bringing in Pedro Feliciano, Scott Atchison, and LaTroy Hawkins over the past 10 days things seem to be filling out.

If you’re projecting #Mets bullpen today, maybe: Francisco, Parnell, Edgin, Feliciano, Atchison, Hawkins, then long man like Hefner/Laffey.
