Mets pick two righties in Rule V draft

The Mets picked righthanders Darren O'Day and Rocky Cherry in the Rule V draft.

O'Day was selected from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim franchise. He appeared in 30 games for the Angels in 2008, he notched 43.3 IP and posted a 4.57 ERA.

Cherry, who sounds a lot like an ice cream flavor, has a career 5.77 ERA, and was selected from the Baltimore Orioles franchise. He's appeared in 40 games over two years with the Chicago Cubs and O's.
