Kris Benson Wins!



Anna Benson must have been satisfied last night with her husband's performance.

Kris Benson also went seven innings - giving up just one run to get his fourth victory of the season.

Some people (myself included) thought Benson was way overpaid by the Mets this offseason but in retrospect I think it may have been another New York signing that deserves the overpaid label. Check out the stats this year for Benson vs. Carl Pavano:

Benson: 4-2 / 3.74 ERA / 43.1 IP / 31 K
Pavano: 4-4 / 4.50 ERA / 70.0 IP / 41 K

Benson looks like a bargain with his 3-year $22.5 million deal compared to Pavano's 4-year $4 million deal.
