Twenty four one-time Mets haven't appeared in a major league baseball game since the 2015 season. Name them. One guess per post. No two in a rowing unless 10 minutes have passed since your last guess. I'll be keeping score.

Just to be clear then -- we're searching for players who were NY Mets at some point in their careers and also played somewhere in the Major Leagues during the 2015 season but not in 2016?
