Ex-mets in 07

Vic Sage Aug 15 2007 10:34 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 15 2007 03:06 PM

I was noticing that Keppinger and Scutaro were doing well recently, and i got to thinking how many other ex-Mets (guys who were Mets "property" at some point in their careers, even if just in the minors) had made appearances (ABs or IP) with other major league teams this year. Here's the list, as far as i can tell: OF M.Cameron C.Floyd X.Nady V.Diaz G.Matthews J.Payton T.Perez T.Redman M.Sweeney J.Tyner on edit: P.Wilson J.Bay IF/C M.Cairo A.Castillo T.Clark M.Jacobs J.Keppinger K.Matsui D.Mientkeivicz M.Mora M.Piazza D.Relaford M.Scutaro K.Stinnett T.Wiggenton C.Woodward on edit: J.Kent SP B.Looper Y.Petit B.Bannister P.Byrd S.Kazmir K.Rogers S.Trachsel V.Zambrano M.Bascik L.DiNardo B.Chen RP H.Bell A.Benitez C.Bradford S.Colyer O.Dotel R.Hernandez J.Izringhausen J.Julio T.Martin N.Musser D.Oliver H.Owens R.Ring M.Stanton B.Traber D.Weathers D.Wheeler T.Yates It's not a list that necessarily sends shudders of regret down my spine. Am i missing anybody?

Vance Wilson?

Edgy DC Aug 15 2007 10:41 AM

Preston Wilson jumps out at me. Yancy tracks this stuff, but I don't think his is perfect either. http://www.ultimatemets.com/metannual.php?ThisYear=2007&tabno=7

I check in and update it a few times a year. There's always somebody I miss, though, and I usually catch them over the winter when I do a final accounting. If you spot anyone who I don't have, please let me know. I have 35 players who were active in 2006 who, as far as I know, have not played in the big leagues in 2007. (Cory Lidle would increase the list to 36 players, but as he's dead at the present time, I doubt he'll see any action this year.)

If minor leaguers are included, Jason Bay makes the ex-Met club and might even be their best player. I'm still not shuddering with regret, though. Was also thinking Eli Marrero, but it looks like Eli's come and gone.

Nymr83 Aug 15 2007 11:27 AM

you're missing Jason Bay if you are including guys who were only in the minors here.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 15 2007 11:34 AM

Nope, just looking at major leaguers. I have Preston: ]St. Louis Cardinals Gary Bennett, Jason Isringhausen, Braden Looper, Kelly Stinnett, Preston Wilson I do have to catch up on my minor league stuff, though. I'm aware that I'm missing a bunch, including Pedro Martinez's recent minor league games.

Timo Perez has played three (3) games with Detroit in 2007. Later

Benitez needs to be with the Marlins, as well as the Giants. That's all I got right now.

Frayed Knot Aug 15 2007 11:54 AM

Several of the guys you do have on your 2007 list have changed teams mid-season: Benitez, Wheeler, Julio, Wigginton,

How can we forget Jeff Kent?

Valadius Aug 15 2007 03:03 PM

Desi Relaford's played in 14 games for the Texas Rangers this season, and he's missing from the list.

Vic Sage Aug 15 2007 03:03 PM

DOH! Kent, Wilson and Bay. got it.

Valadius Aug 15 2007 03:05 PM

Oh, and Kenny Rogers pitched in 6 games for Detroit this season.

Valadius Aug 15 2007 03:10 PM

No, but John Thomson (2 games for KC) is missing from both lists.

Valadius Aug 15 2007 03:17 PM

Dan Wheeler's now pitched 5 games for Tampa Bay.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 04 2007 09:37 AM

Thanks! I now believe I'm caught up, unless there have been any other former Mets player moves that I missed while I was away. (I did get Kane Davis as a Phillie, and it appears that Trachsel has not yet pitched for the Cubs this year.) Anyone aware of anything else?

Royce Ring pitched for the Braves this weekend.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 04 2007 09:48 AM

Thanks. I had no idea he was a Brave.

Edgy DC Sep 04 2007 09:56 AM

Craig Brazell, leading the minors in homers this year, finall got called up by the Royals: http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070904/SPORTS/709040325/1002

Johnny Dickshot Sep 04 2007 10:07 AM

Hopefully he'll do for the Yankees playoff hopes this weekend what he did to the Cubs' in 04.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 07 2007 04:53 AM

I just found out that Rick White pitched in six games for Seattle this season.

How about an all-star team of Exies? Without thinking about it too much, which will be a copout for my obvious mistakes LHP - Kazmir RHP - Bannister RP - Isringhausen C - Piazza 1B - Jacobs 2B - Kent SS- Keppinger 3B- Wigginton OF - Bay, Cameron, Nady

Jorge Velandia, who hasn't seen major league action since 2003 when he was with the Mets, was purchased from the minors yesterday by Tampa Bay.

Willets Point Sep 10 2007 12:05 PM

Kazmir never played for the Mets.

sharpie Sep 10 2007 12:13 PM

Nor did Jason Bay.

Mendoza Line Sep 10 2007 12:17 PM

I think "ex-Mets" were defined as players who were part of the Mets organization at any point in their careers - not necessarily with the major league club.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 10 2007 02:05 PM

I don't know if Vance Wilson played for the Tigers this year at all . I know he's hurt.
