Mets Police 90’s Week: Gooden, Franco, Murray, Saberhagen are 14 out in May

Hey with a roster like this I am sure 1993 will turn around!

The manager’s desk will be stacked with sheets of statistics and reports for Dallas Green’s arrival today. The clubhouse will be clean and orderly. Impressive nameplates will hang above a handful of lockers — Saberhagen, Gooden, Murray, Bonilla, Franco, Johnson.

The looks, of course, will be deceiving. The scene, after all, is a mess. The players haven’t lived up to their reputations. The statistics are frightful reading. Green inherits a basement outfit 14 games back of the leaders in the National League East.
