All Time Mets Lineup
A while back I devised an objective measure of time played at positions to craft a lineup for the all-time team for the Yankees and MLB. How about the Mets? I have to warn you of two things; the Mets have only been around since 1962 so there is less talent and I had a hard time recognizing a lot of these names myself so there is a chance I could have a position is off for player.
Starting lineup:
Catcher = Jerry Grote
1st Baseman = Ed Kranepool
2nd Baseman = Edgardo Alfonzo
3rd Baseman = Howard Johnson
Shortstop = Bud Harrelson
Outfielder = Cleon Jones
Outfielder = Mookie Wilson
Outfielder = Darryl Strawberry
Bench:
Catcher = Mike Piazza
Corner Infielder = Wayne Garrett
Middle Infielder = Rey Ordonez
Outfielder = Lee Mazzilli
Outfielder = Rusty Staub
Rotation:
Starting Pitcher 1 = Tom Seaver
Starting Pitcher 2 = Jerry Koosman
Starting Pitcher 3 = Dwight Gooden
Starting Pitcher 4 = Sid Fernandez
Starting Pitcher 5 = Ron Darling
Bullpen:
Middle reliever = Jesse Orosco
Middle reliever = Tug McGraw
Middle reliever = Aaron Heilman
Middle reliever = Jeff Innis
Middle reliever = Turk Wendell
Set-Up Man = Armando Benitez
Closer = John Franco
Notable exceptions:
Keith Hernandez, Gary Carter, Dave Cone, Lenny Dykstra, Dave Kingman, & Kevin Mitchell played too much of their careers with other franchises.
David Wright, & Jose Reyes have not played enough games yet
