25-Letter Roster

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 29 2012 07:27 PM

Now than Quintanilla has given us an all-time roster with every letter of the alphabet but X, try and make a realistic Mets roster using one surname per letter only once. Position counts! Here's my 1st run through. I might want to cut Seaver and add Strawberry to address my weak outfield. I could also go with a 10-man pitching staff and get Keith Hernandez as a pinch hitter. Starting pitchers (5) Gooden Koosman Leiter Seaver Viola Relievers (6) Dotel Franco R. Hernandez Innis McGraw Zachry Catchers (2) Carter Piazza Infielders (6) Alfonzo, 2B-3B Olerud, 1B Quintanilla, SS-2B Reyes, SS Teufel, 2B Wright, 3B Outfielders (6) Beltran Everett C. Jones Nieuwenhuis Unser Younglood

I'd definitely switch Hernandezes, and if you make the Seaver/Straw switch, then you could also switch Kirk for Jon Niese to fill the rotation hole if you're not comfortable with Pat Zachry pitching every fifth day. You could also go Everett --> Nino Espinosa or Youngblood --> Anthony Young to get that 11th pitcher back.
