TEMPE, Ariz - There was a time, not long ago, when Matt Harvey was the premier pitcher in all of baseball, headlining a young Mets rotation that also featured Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard.
But his career sidetracked, mostly because of self-inflicted wounds.
"I'm disappointed in myself," Harvey said in a harsh assessment Wednesday after the Angels' first official workout of spring training.
Harvey posted a 6.00 ERA in four starts for the Mets last season and was demoted to the bullpen. He was traded to Cincinnati after refusing a minor league assignment.
