Wow, this thread has had very little activity this year. Time to post some updates. Daniel Murphy has been moving up a few of the Mets all-time lists. DOUBLES Murphy has bumped Mookie Wilson out of the top ten and is only one behind Darryl Strawberry. 1. David Wright 371 2. Ed Kranepool 225 3. José Reyes 222 4. Howard Johnson 214 5. Edgardo Alfonzo 212 6. Carlos Beltran 208 7. Mike Piazza 193 8. Darryl Strawberry 187 9. Daniel Murphy 186 10. Cleon Jones 182 11. Mookie Wilson 170 HITS Murphy recently passed Lee Mazzilli to move into 14th place. If he plays a full season with the Mets in 2015, the Mets may finally reach the point where it requires 1,000 hits to be in the top ten. Meanwhile, David Wright looks like he'll get to the 1,700-hit mark this year. The big 2,000 looks to be about two years away. 1. David Wright 1680 2. Ed Kranepool 1418 3. José Reyes 1300 4. Cleon Jones 1188 5. Edgardo Alfonzo 1136 6. Mookie Wilson 1112 7. Bud Harrelson 1029 8. Mike Piazza 1028 9. Darryl Strawberry 1025 10. Howard Johnson 997 11. Jerry Grote 994 12. Keith Hernandez 939 13. Carlos Beltran 878 14. Daniel Murphy 802 15. Lee Mazzilli 796 16. Kevin McReynolds 791 17. Felix Millan 743 18. Rey Ordóñez 720 19. Rusty Staub 709 20. John Stearns 695 21. Wally Backman 670 22. Wayne Garrett 667 AT BATS Murphy is in 18th place right now, but he can still move up a couple of more notches this season, and, if he's with the Mets through all of next season, can pass Keith Hernandez and move into 12th place. David Wright apparently became the all-time at-bats king this season, and nobody seems to have noticed. 1. David Wright 5621 2. Ed Kranepool 5436 3. José Reyes 4453 4. Bud Harrelson 4390 5. Cleon Jones 4223 6. Mookie Wilson 4027 7. Howard Johnson 3968 8. Darryl Strawberry 3903 9. Edgardo Alfonzo 3897 10. Jerry Grote 3881 11. Mike Piazza 3478 12. Keith Hernandez 3164 13. Carlos Beltran 3133 14. Lee Mazzilli 3013 15. Rey Ordóñez 2937 16. Kevin McReynolds 2910 17. Wayne Garrett 2817 18. Daniel Murphy 2742 19. John Stearns 2679 20. Felix Millan 2677 21. Rusty Staub 2571 22. Todd Hundley 2549 23. Tommie Agee 2416 24. Hubie Brooks 2400 25. John Milner 2389 26. George Foster 2389 27. Wally Backman 2369 28. Dave Kingman 2323 Also, Jonathon Niese has been around for a while now too. Let's see where he is on some of the Mets all-time lists: GAMES STARTED Niese can move into the top ten next season. 1. Tom Seaver 395 2. Jerry Koosman 346 3. Dwight Gooden 303 4. Sid Fernandez 250 5. Ron Darling 241 6. Al Leiter 213 7. Jon Matlack 199 8. Bobby Jones 190 9. Craig Swan 184 10. David Cone 169 11. Tom Glavine 164 12. Steve Trachsel 160 13. Mike Pelfrey 149 14. Jon Niese 140 15. Rick Reed 138 16. Al Jackson 138 17. Jack Fisher 133 18. Gary Gentry 121 19. Pat Zachry 113 20. Bob Ojeda 109 21. Johan Santana 109 22. Jim McAndrew 105 WINS Would you have guessed that Steve Trachsel was in the top ten? Niese is probably more than a year away from dislodging him, but by next year he could get past Tom Glavine for 11th place. 1. Tom Seaver 198 2. Dwight Gooden 157 3. Jerry Koosman 140 4. Ron Darling 99 5. Sid Fernandez 98 6. Al Leiter 95 7. Jon Matlack 82 8. David Cone 81 9. Bobby Jones 74 10. Steve Trachsel 66 11. Tom Glavine 61 12. Craig Swan 59 13. Rick Reed 59 14. Bob Ojeda 51 15. Mike Pelfrey 50 16. Jon Niese 49 17. John Franco 48 18. Jesse Orosco 47 19. Tug McGraw 47 20. Johan Santana 46 STRIKEOUTS Niese just moved into the top ten yesterday! And nobody knew it! Probably not even Craig Swan, who is currently clinging to a tie for 10th place. Next up is Bobby Jones (the one from Fresno), and then Jon Matlack, still far in the distance. 1. Tom Seaver 2541 2. Dwight Gooden 1875 3. Jerry Koosman 1799 4. Sid Fernandez 1449 5. David Cone 1172 6. Ron Darling 1148 7. Al Leiter 1106 8. Jon Matlack 1023 9. Bobby Jones 714 10. Jon Niese 671 11. Craig Swan 671 12. Tug McGraw 618 13. Johan Santana 607 14. John Franco 592 15. Rick Reed 590 16. Steve Trachsel 580 17. Gary Gentry 563 18. Al Jackson 561 19. Tom Glavine 516 20. Mike Pelfrey 506 21. Jesse Orosco 506

Would be funny if Swan did know it, watching at home and cursing every strike. "No, dammit! That pitch was outside!"

Edgy MD Aug 12 2014 08:29 AM Re: Where Mets Rank (2014)

Look at that tier behind Matlack. There's as much distance between him in eighth and Jones in ninth as there is between Jones in ninth and Jim McAndrew in 31st. It's like, "Only the gods may enter this stratosphere, son." Makes a small but decent case in itself for Matlack as Mets Hall-of-Famer.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 12 2014 09:11 AM Re: Where Mets Rank (2014)

Interestingly with the exception of briefly sharing No. 44 (Cone, Darling) and 16 (Gooden, Cone) the Top 18 Met strikeout hurlers all have unique uni numbers (19 & 20/21, Glavine & Orosco, were both 47s.

Frayed Knot Aug 25 2014 07:08 AM Re: Where Mets Rank (2014)

One thing this increasingly lost season for Wright is doing as far as 'Where Mets Rank' is concerned is to postpone the previously assumed 2015 season as the year David was to pass Straw as the all-time NYM HR leader. After starting 2014 32 HRs away from tying the mark, he's still 24 back as we head to September and has hit only 26 over the last 1-3/4 seasons combined. In fact he's only hit as many as 25 once in the last six seasons meaning that what once seemed inevitable by late 2014/early 2015 is now looking like 2016 at the earliest.

Murphy's DL stint means that Bernard Gilkey's doubles record stands for at least one more season.

Mejia takes sole possession of the coveted 17th place all-time career list. Any prediction as to where he will finish?

I consider today to be .18 of a save so maybe he'll reach your exact projection after all.

Edgy MD Sep 07 2014 09:35 PM Re: Where Mets Rank (2014)

Saves are a a funny thing to track, because by a curious tradition, unlike any other statistic, only one guy is allowed to purse them at a time. So two seasons on the job as a designated closer and you have a reasonably good chance of joining the team's all-time top ten.

Team Wins in a Season vs. the Mets ... T4) Florida Marlins, 2004: 15 (11 saves by Benitez) I remember this stat/year specifically for a conversation that WFAN yakker Jody McDonald had with a Miami writer/broadcaster (I forget which) telling him how much they were going to regret having Benitez on their team. - and then when he got off to a good start Jody Mac had to revise he prediction about how he'd fall apart when he faced the Mets, that seeing 'New York' on unis was going to be more than he could handle - and then when he was near-perfect in a series in Miami he got revised further to he'd fall apart as soon as he pitched a series IN New York And on it went. But even though he gave himself about three different ways to say 'I told ya so', Armando skunked him at every turn.
