Where Mets Rank, 2012

Top Ten Hitmakers in Mets History [list=1][*]Ed Kranepool: 1418[/*:m] [*]José Reyes: 1300[/*:m] [*]David Wright: 1248[/*:m] [*]Cleon Jones: 1188[/*:m] [*]Edgardo Alfonzo: 1136[/*:m] [*]Mookie Wilson: 1112[/*:m] [*]Bud Harrelson: 1029[/*:m] [*]Mike Piazza: 1028[/*:m] [*]Darryl Strawberry: 1025[/*:m] [*]Howard Johnson: 997[/*:m][/list:o] Pretty dramatic, right? But oh, the drama is thicker than it would seem at first blush. If Wright gets into games at his career rate, he should appear in 149 regular-season contests this season. Assuming that, if he collects his hits at his career rate, he should move past José Reyes into sole possession of second place on the all-time hit list for the Mets. Assuming Reyes hasn't returned to the Mets and continued to add to his hit total, this occurrence should take place in game 51. This should take place on June 1 (weather permitting) , a Friday night and the first of a four-game weekend set against the Cards. Buy tickets now to the whole weekend and you're giving yourself a decent chance to catch some history. But, assuming he continues, getting into games and getting his hits at his career rate, that could be the last hit milestone he gets to, at least this season. For he would finish the season with 168 hits --- getting him to a career total of 1,416, leaving him two hits short of Kranepool. TWO!

By the end of this season, David Wright might own the Mets offensive career records, for the most part.

Mets – Willets Point Apr 26 2012 09:57 AM Re: Where Mets Rank, 2012

I feel like the Mets need to reactivate Darling and Fernandez just long enough to get them into the 100 win club.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 26 2012 10:00 AM Re: Where Mets Rank, 2012

Ron mentioned something about that on a broadcast once. Not about being reactivated, but he's very much aware that he had 99 wins as a Met and wishes he had 100. While they're at it, the Mets could reactivate Tom Seaver too, so that he can get two more.

Then they really turned it on. 5 and 4 in '82 with 2 by Bruce Bochy. dropped to one by Mike Fitzgerald in '83 Fitz hit two in '84 and Hodges had 1.

Edgy MD Aug 29 2012 09:43 AM Re: Where Mets Rank, 2012

Zero in 1980. John Stearns hurt his elbow, and only got a half year in, and in the games he did get into, he didn't get any loft on the ball. Alex Treviño, Ron Hodges, and Butch Benton, given a chance to pick him up, didn't. All that would have been awful on it's own, but what really sealed it was that they didn't get any homers from any of their shorstops or secondbasemen that year either. They totaled a Marisesque 61 --- almost all of those coming from the outfield.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 29 2012 09:47 AM Re: Where Mets Rank, 2012

Ron Hodges' homer in 1984 came as a pinch hitter.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 29 2012 11:24 AM Re: Where Mets Rank, 2012

Home runs hit, by position, in 1980. There are a few cases where a player played more than one outfield position in a game in which he homered. I neglected to determine which position he was playing at the time he hit the home run. Either way, we have 16 homers from the infield, 41 from the outfield, and 4 from pinch hitters. 1b Jorgensen Mike 3 1b Mazzilli Lee 6 3b Brooks Hubie 1 3b Maddox Elliott 4 3b Moreno José 1 3b Youngblood Joel 1 cf Jorgensen Mike 1 cf Mazzilli Lee 10 cf Morales Jerry 3 cf Youngblood Joel 2 cf-rf Youngblood Joel 1 lf Henderson Steve 7 lf Washington Claudell 2 lf-rf Washington Claudell 1 ph Henderson Steve 1 ph Moreno José 1 ph Norman Dan 2 rf Jorgensen Mike 3 rf Washington Claudell 6 rf Youngblood Joel 4 rf-lf Washington Claudell 1

Skipping Dickey against the Marlins? Might as well rip a win from his record. He's got a Respected Award to win. As I said earlier, I would be surprised to see him start Monday and grab an inning or two of relief on Wednesday if it would give him a chance to grab an extra win.
