Simple: Name the top ten Mets in terms of OPS at Citi Field, minimum 50 plate appearances.



One guess per post, no consecuposting. Three points for a correct answer, and minus one for being incorrectamundo. YYYBBB.

    Yoenis, in 600 plate appearances, currently has the eighth-highest OPS at Shea II among Mets.


    Wright


    David Wright, in 1,830 plate appearances, has the 12th-highest OPS.


    McNeil


    That's using the coconut. He's #5 after 210 plate appearances.

    Poppa is #2 with a bullet.


    Murph!


    Daniel Murphy was more of a road warrior in his Mets tenure, and is ranked all the way down at 27th, with a .735 OPS after 1,654 plate appearances.

    Seemingly synonymous with the Citi Field era, having amassed 1,422 plate appearances in the palace, but he's just out of the money, at #11 OPS all time.

    Dom Smith will sadly remind you that the good Smitty of 2019 is still being dragged down by the numbers of bad Smitty of 2018. He's way down at 46th with a .678 OPS over 194 plate appearances.

    Granderson?


    Deeply associated with the era, although largely associated with guys who Citi Field didn't help, Curtis is 38th on our list, with a .698 OPS over 1,133 plate appearances at the new barn.


    Smiley Brandon Nimmo?


    He might have made our list at the start of the season, but a rough start this year has been something of a fall from grace, and that has wiped the smile right from his face. Nimmo is just out of the money, behind DooDoo and Wright at #13, with an .822 OPS over 464 plate appearances at Citi.


    Astrubel Cabrera


    An interesting guess. But he had some bad times with his good times. Enough, at any rate, to bounce him down to 19th, with a .774 OPS over 725 plate appearances in the Shadow of Shea Bridge.


    I'm thinking the fewer the PAs, the better the chance they may be high on this list...



    JD Davis


    Now we're doing some BRAIN thinkin'! You've got our #2 all-time Met in terms of OPS at Citi Field with at least fitty plate appearances. JD, in his first 74 Queens-based trips to the dish as a Met, has walloped to the tune of a .966 OPS.



    And, in that spirit, I'll pull the curtain away just a bit and let you know that each of our remaining dudes has less than 100 plate appearances as Mets at Citi Field. So put your esoterica hats on.

    I don't know which part of your filthy, filthy asshole you pulled this out of, but you have correctly recalled that Carlos D. as his health waned in his final year as a Met, and the first year of Citi Field, his bat nonetheless continued to prosper as he crossed the career finish line. Well done! Carlos is number one with a .993 OPS in 61 trips to the plate at the brand new Citi Field with it's black outfield walls.


    Scott Hairston


    I'm probably mis-remembering, but I think Hairy did a disproportionate amount of his damage at Nationals Park. True or not, our scion of the Hairston legacy is 26th on our chart, with a .736 OPS in 272 plate appearances at home for the Mets in the post-Shea era.

    Re: Kwiz: Kings of Queens, From Queens Come Kings

    Angel is always a good answer to quizzes such as this, in part because just to invoke his name is to conjure up the most perfect beard in Mets history. Alas, Angel's two Met tenures bring him in at #16 on our list, with an .806 OPS over 766 plate appearances. We're doing a spanking good job of coming up with #s 11-20.



    Important to note, our remaining three will be a special challenge, because each has fewer than 100 plate appearances as a Met. Thinking caps: on.

    Marlon comes in at #30 with a .712 OPS over 223 plate appearances. Then he and John Buck brought in Vic Black and Dilson Herrera.

    T.J. is an excellent guess, but he sadly comes in #16, with an .817 OPS in 177 plate appearances as a Citi Field Met. As far as I can see, he hasn't caught on with anybody for 2019.

    Yes, yes, yes! There's not a whole lot of speed factor feeding into OPS, so short-timer Wilson zooms in at #10 with an .846 OPS during his 99-PA tenure thus far at Citi Field.

    Always a fun answer. A guy who looked 100, carried an extra 44 pounds, swung as hard as anybody, and tried to fake it as a middle infielder. But Juan is #32 on our list with a .711 OPS in 72 plate appearances in Citi Field.

    She was good. But certainly not top-ten good. Kelly is our 44th best home OPS guy at Citi Field, with a .681 OPS across 156 plate appearances. He's beaten Dom Smith, though ... so far!


    How 'bout Frenchy?


    That's the sort of guess we used to call "The French Mistake." Jeff Francoeur was what the French call, "un peu mieux que terrible," coming in 34th place with a .708 OPS in 367 Citi trips to the plate. On the other hand, do that, Kelly Johnson.

    But here you are, pulling a Cory out of your pants and more or less clinching the contest. My stars and garters, I'm impressed! Cory F. Sullivan has the fourth-highest home OPS in Citi Field history among dudes with 50 or more plate appearances, rocking a .920 figure across 69 trips to the dish.



    Congratulations! We'll keep the last one up until somebody guesses it or another working day has ended.

    Tatis is, again, our highest-ranked wrong guess, coming in 17th place with an .801 OPS as a Met at Citi Field in his 223 visits to home plate.



    Ramon Castro (I assume you mean him and not Marisol) was with the Mets for 3+ seasons, but most of it was in the pre-Citi Field Era, and he only got to the plate 35 times at home in 2009. (Smoked the ball when he did, though.)



    Valentino Pascucci, while also a non-qualifier, is an interesting case. He came to the plate only 11 times as a Met. He was 0-3 on the road, but rocked a 1.125 OPS in eight trips at home.



    Also Guessed: Lucas Duda (#11), David Wright (#12), Brandon Nimmo (#13), Gary Sheffield (#14), T.J. Rivera (#15), Angel Pagan (#16), Fernando Tatis (#17), Asdrubal Cabrera (#19), Neil Walker (#23), Ike Davis (#25), Scott Hairston (#26), Daniel Murphy (#27), Marlon Byrd (#30), Juan Uribe (#32), Kelly Johnson (#34), Curtis Granderson (#38), T.J. Rivera (#15), Kelly Johnson (#44), Dom Smith (#45), Mike Baxter (#58), Ramon Castro (DNQ), Zach Lutz (DNQ), Val Pasucci (DNQ).



    HINT TIME

    The guy we're looking for probably won't make the Hall of Fame. He might not even make a second ballot. But he probably won't get shut out on the first one.
