Up for a baseball quiz? 17 one-time Mets haven't appeared in an MLB game since the 2016 season. Name them. One guess per post. Two-in-a-rowing is permitted.

Mets or former Mets who played in the big leagues in 2016 but not in 2017.

I used to post something like this every year in a thread called "Did Somebody Move Their Cheese?"

Any Mets. The question didn't limit Mets to just 2016 Mets.

The UMDB has 31 people who fit that category. The list may not be fully up to date, since I haven't done my year-end reconciliation yet. I'll send you my 31 in a PM.

And of course, since I have "inside information" I'll refrain from posting any guesses.

The two remaining and unidentified one-time Mets are Gonzalez Germen and Jeff Francoeur. Thank you for playing.

Re: Mean Old '17: 17 that were 86'ed in '17

If asked "What year did Gonzalez Germen pitch for the Mets," I don't know that I'd be able to pinpoint it. Somewhere between 2009 and 2015, I'd say.
