It’s quiet in PSL so far today so let’s dust this off….
The Lost Mets Police Posts are the posts that are sitting in “Drafts” in unfinished form. Think of these as outtakes from a music album, but blog.
Looks like in December of 2009 a post was started about the all time Imported Mets team, those players that did not come up through the Mets’ minor league system. That seems like the kind of thing Dan would write more than I, but hey let’s look at the original and see if we can finish it off….
===========
CF – Carlos Beltran
2B – Felix Millan
1B – Keith Hernandez
C – Mike Piazza
3B – Howard Johnson
LF- Kevin McReynolds
RF – Rusty Staub
SS – Rafael Sanatana
Jerry Grote
Tommie Agee
George Foster
Dave Kingman
Doug Flynn
Joel Youngblood

That was it for the original daft.
OK interesting start. But a lot has happened since 2009. (and I kept the original typo in Santana). And what was with that order? Was that a batting order of sorts? Anyway….
In LF, I think there is a clear case for this Yoenis Cespedes guy over McReynolds so let’s swap that out.
As for the “bench” section – I think Jay Bruce belongs there more than some of those names. What about Jeff Kent? Neil Walker? Curtis Granderson?
Now back to Santana, I notice this original post didn’t have pitchers. How about Santana (Johan). How about Bob Ojeda? Journeyman R.A. Dickey?
There are probably all kids of names from the 60s-2009 that are overlooked, but I don’t want to spend all day on this plus let’s make you guys do some work. Discuss! (on @metspolice or Facebook.com/metspolice)
I actually like this as a topic a lot (as it eliminates names like Seaver, Wright, Reyes). Maybe I will dust it off next winter as Winter Filler.
