Did somebody move their cheese?

Benjamin Grimm Nov 19 2010 11:41 AM

This is the fourth time I've started one of these threads. (See previous versions from the 2005, 2008, and 2009 seasons. I look for former Mets players who had played in the majors the previous year but not in the year that just ended. Are their days in the big leagues finished? Are they now pondering how they'll spend the rest of their lives as ordinary (albeit rather wealthy) individuals? Or do they have a comeback in the works? This year there are 30 former Mets possibly staring into the abyss, including some pretty big names. Here's the list: 1. Chip Ambres 2. Marlon Anderson 3. Luis Ayala 4. Angel Berroa 5. Chad Bradford 6. Lance Broadway 7. Emil Brown 8. Paul Byrd 9. Robinson Cancel 10. Endy Chavez 11. Tony Clark 12. Carlos Delgado 13. Cliff Floyd 14. Casey Fossum 15. Jason Isringhausen 16. Jorge Julio 17. Brandon Knight 18. Braden Looper 19. Pedro Martinez 20. Ramon Martinez 21. Doug Mientkiewicz 22. Tim Redding 23. Argenis Reyes 24. Glendon Rusch 25. Duaner Sanchez 26. Gary Sheffield 27. Jon Switzer 28. Ken Takahashi 29. Dave Weathers 30. Tyler Yates

Cancel was a Duck in 2010, and Argenis Reyes went from the Can-Am League to the Red Sox system this summer.

I was surprised to see Endy Chavez and Braden Looper on the list. I'm guessing Endy will probably play again, and maybe Looper as well. Delgado, Floyd, Sheffield, and Pedro are probably pretty much done, I'd think.

Redding and Marlon seem like SO long ago, don't they?

Chavez was playing in the Texas minor league system this year as he rehabbed from a torn ACL. Floyd is retired and is working as a broadcaster for Fox Sports Florida and also did some work on the MLB Network.

Duaner Sanchez was a New Jersey Jackal this past summer. As was some really unpleasant person from Passaic, no doubt, but Sanchez wore a uniform to that effect.
