Poison the League: The "The Mets are Everywhere" Quiz

batmagadanleadoff Sep 05 2015 03:47 PM Edited 4 time(s), most recently on Sep 05 2015 09:33 PM

In the bad old days before 1969 happened, the pundits and scribes used to quip that the Mets could improve by making lotsa trades, any trades, really. The gag was that soon enough, the Mets players would be spread all over the league, and the Mets, having weakened the competition with all of those trades, would then have a better chance of winning games. That was the poison the league theory. Which brings us to this quiz, which is probably gonna go to waste what with this being a holiday weekend and all. 47 Mets (current or not) played in at least one MLB game this season for a team other than the Mets. Name them. One player per post. 47 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 1 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

No credit for JMJ. He was a Met from opening day, 2015. And although the White Sox signed him after the Mets DFA'ed him, the Sox cut him before he ever got in a game for them.

That list is really light in the backup catcher department. I think Henry Blanco is still out there somewhere.

Is anybody still playing or should I turn over the remaining cards?

Dale Thayer? I agree that there should be some other backup catchers but their names are eluding me right now.

But some of these, I wouldn't have identified in forever time. Like Centeno and Germen, for example.

Gwreck Sep 06 2015 11:05 AM Re: Poison the League: The "The Mets are Everywhere" Quiz

We saw Germen against us when we faced the Rockies recently. I had no chance at the backup catchers. Jason Pridie is the big surprise.

Edgy MD Sep 06 2015 07:47 PM Re: Poison the League: The "The Mets are Everywhere" Quiz

Pridie and Valdespin both returned to the majors following a PED suspension.
