Ultimate Expos

Edgy MD Feb 16 2014 07:28 PM

Bartolo Colon arrives in camp as a member of an endangered species. It was his sixth season before he became an Expo (thank you, Omar Minaya), but he has a chance to be the last remaining one. Below I rank the recently retired, the hinted at retirement (Livan is apparently just finalizing a deal to become an instructor with the Nats), the all-but-retired (sorry, Miguel Batista), and the still active. I rank them by their most recent game, but obviously that's a matter of luck to many of the remaining guys. But if they all retired today, Luis Ayala would be our winner. Some still nominally active guys, though, can still pass some officially retired guys with a single appearance. Colon is far from the youngest (see Izutris, Maicer), but he is the only one with a contract for 2015. 19 =#BFBF00][crossout]Vladimir Guerrero[/crossout], of 39 years, 7 days old.

Two other notes: 1) The proliferation of Latin American ballplayers on this list is a nice reminder what a great job this organization did scouting Latin America. They lost their fain base because they couldn't keep anybody after they reached free agency, but the team stayed viable on the field (if not marketable) by always reloading from their largely Latin American prospect base. 2) How do you like Val Pascucci, staying in this little game so indefitagably. His entire career consists of 32 games with the 2004 Expos and 10 games with the 2011 Mets. He might have pulled off a stealth victory with a little luck.

The Mets were the final team for the last active New York Giant (Willie Mays) and the last active Brooklyn Dodger (Bob Aspromonte), so maybe they can go for the trifecta.

Yes, but by the early 70's they were pretty much past that. I wonder, who was the last Washington Senator? The last St. Louis Brown? The last Boston Brave? (I'm pretty sure the last Milwaukee Brave had to have been Henry Aaron.)

The 1970-1997 Brewers (I knew someone would reach back before that.) Jeff Cirillo is my guess off the top of my head. His last game was the end of 2007, meaning he outlasted Jose Valentin and Jeromy Burnitz.

Not Bryn Smith. Gyd giss, though. Bryn rocked an 18-5 season in 1985. Never topped 12 in any other season.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: Randy Johnson? Pedro Martinez? No multiple guess dumps!! Randy Johnson was mostly pretty bad as an Expo, going 3-4 and walking a terrifying 5.3 men per nine innings. He was a rare talent in that he turned the corner at pretty much the exact point he threw a no-hitter for the Mariners. Never has a light so definitively gone on. He was pretty bad, he threw a no-hitter, and then he was great for 15 years. Pedro, on the other hand, had his first great season with Montreal, but they weren't such a great team. He went 17-8 in 1997, won the Cy Young Award, and got traded to Boston for Carl Pavano and Tony Armas, Jr. El Presidente, on the other hand, played for the Expos back when there was no shame in coming there after starring elsewhere --- in Baltimore, in his case. He produced double-digit win totals seven straight times for the Quebeçois, peaking at 16-7 in 1989. He also helped future Met Tim Burke bond with the son Burke adopted from Martínez' native Nicaragua.

Dan Schatzeder, why the hell not.

Edgy MD Aug 13 2014 09:10 AM Re: Ultimate Expos

Well, because he stated less than a third of his appearances as an Expo. Hard to win 20 that way. His top win season in the big O was during the first of his two tenures, going 10-5 (in 21 starts) in 1979 with a 2.83 ERA. That was good enough to get him traded to Detroit (straight up for Ron LeFlore!), but he floundered in the AL and was mostly a reliever by the time he returned to Canada in 1982. And yes, I had forgotten Schatzeder ever played for the Mets.

Edgy MD Aug 13 2014 09:37 AM Re: Ultimate Expos

Charlie Lea was a good pitcher. Plus it was cool that a team could relieve Lea with Lee. He went 16-11/3.12 in 1983 and then was the All-Star starter, going 13-4 by mid-season in 1984, but injuries and lack of offensive support undermined his second half. He finished at 15-10, missed the next two seasons, and was never good again. Schatzeder was a good guess, temporarily. Definitely from the era of their superstar outfield. OE: Homerun by batmagadanleadoff! Look at that fucking hair. If that guy doesn't drive a primer-painted pickup truck without his shirt on around Babylon and surf at Jones Beach, I don't know what. That motherfucker isn't just a 20-game winner. He's your go-to source for WBAB bumper stickers.

batmagadanleadoff Aug 13 2014 09:45 AM Re: Ultimate Expos

I played '78 Strat O Matic and I can tell you that nobody drafted Grimsley in our NL all star league. He wasn't better than his teammate Steve Rogers that season, and definitely wasn't as good as nine game winner and ERA champ Craig Swan.

batmagadanleadoff Aug 13 2014 09:51 AM Re: Ultimate Expos

On second thought, Grimsley was indeed drafted in the 78 NL AS SOM league I played in. But he still wasn't as good as Swannie.
