HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

A few weeks ago I saw an odd slop-throwing lefty silhouette on my screen. I then took a closer look at the unusual number of letters on the back of the uniform. I hadn't actually seen Vic in person before, only his name in Marlins box scores.
OK, I've seen enough. Now who's next to give another chance to a southpaw who can still faintly fog up a mirror?

It is amusing to watch Darensbourg pitch for one reason: He is about 5'9", built small and his last name is so long that the letters simply do not fit across the back of his jersey. The 'D' and the 'G' have disappeared under the man's armpits. Amusing sight. Was like that when he was on the Marlins as well.

If there's a worse lefty reliever than Franco it's this guy. The guy threw batting practice everytime he pitched. Too ugly for words when he came in.

I used to get really excited when the Marlins used to bring him into the game, I knew the Mets hitters would crush him, so of course they end up getting this useless piece of trash. What a waste of material giving him a uniform. Obtaining him is a typical Mets move.

Had the pleasure of seeing Vic pitch for the IL Champ Mud Hens last season. Went practically the whole year without giving up a run until he was called up by the Tigers.

At no point in his career prior to joining the Mets was Darensbourg ever "good," so of course the Mets had to sign him after he'd flunked out with the Marlins, Rockies, Expos and White Sox.
He started off his career 0-7 with the Marlins in 1998 (and in 1999, he had an atrocious ERA of 8.83 in 56 relief appearances) and when he got to the Mets he continued his losing ways, going 0-1 in 5 relief appearances. He was 8-17 for his career.
He was a solid minor league pitcher (2.93 career ERA on the farm), but he just couldn't cut it in the majors.
