Guess that Met
Re: Guess that Met
1. From the back of a baseball card: "This player was a solid middle man for the Mets in '90 after coming over from the Dodgers in the off-season. A very slow worker on the mound, he throws a fastball in the 90s and an excellent curve. It took this player nearly three years to re-learn how to pitch without relying on sheer power after he was felled by arm troubles in '85. He was a starter when he first came up to the majors and in '84, he led the National League with a 2.48 ERA. "He's a veteran who knows how to close the door," said Dodger coach Ron Perranoski. "With this player, you're seeing consistency." Who am I?
Hint: Pitched for the Mets in 1990 and 1991.
2. I was an All-Star!
I won a Gold Glove!
What else can you ask for?
What isn't there to love?
So how good was I with New York?
Go ahead, take your bets!
I won one hundred-plus times
But was a loser with the Mets
But don't think I was all bad,
Oh, please don't think that poorly of me
For New York in 1965,
My mark was still below three
Who am I?
3. Who is the former Met who holds the major league record for most consecutive seasons playing 150-plus games?
4. Who am I? "For the past five seasons, this player ranked as one of the top relievers in the league. A feisty southpaw with a stocky build, he mixes a sinking fastball with a wicked changeup that breaks like a screwball to get batters to hit the ball on the ground. He is as tough on righthanded batters as he is on lefties. Before joining the Mets in '90, this player was the ace closer in the Reds bullpen. In '88, he ranked first in the NL with 39 saves in 42 opportunities and allowed only a .198 BA against him. In '89, this player was third in the league with 32 saves in 39 opportunities. Three times he was picked for the All-Star Game and he set a team record with 148 saves in his six seasons with Cincinnati."

Re: Guess that Met
Sasser and Franco are correct. #3 isn't Butler, the correct answer is in the Hall of Fame. #1 isn't David West, the correct answer has a tilde in his surname. Two new questions have been added.

Aggressive and a hard-nosed hustler, this player then showed his worth to the team by filling in all over the infield. He is a line-drive hitter who sprays the ball to all fields with excellent bat control. This player is also an excellent bunter and has lots of speed on the bases.

Hint: Pitched for the Mets in 1964 and 1965. Involved in these trades: August 8, 1964: Traded by the New York Mets to the Milwaukee Braves for Dennis Ribant and cash and July 8, 1965: Traded by the New York Mets to the Chicago White Sox for a player to be named later.

Re: Guess that Met
5. is Joey Lawrence or Bobby Lawrence or Brian Lawrence. His name was Lawrence
Re: Guess that Met
Great guess, a nice obscure Met was Brian Lawrence. But #5 isn't Lawrence. The only way #5 could have been voted into an All-Star Game would have been if one of his fans was a ballot stauffer.

Re: Guess that Met
Though your descriptions for #1 and #3 technically are accurate as it pertains to the correct answers, those descriptions can apply to lots of Mets. Can you name the players specifically?

Re: Guess that Met
OE, already guessed…RMPL
Re: Guess that Met
Kranepool and Harrelson are correct. #2 isn't Matlack, though you got the "J" part of the first name right. The correct answer had significantly less success with New York; he wasn't an original Met, but he came aboard when they were still bad. "is an overrated bust" and "is a fraud they should have traded" do describe the remaining guys, but I think names are necessary to call the answers 'correct.' Two new questions have been added, with hints for the rest.
New questions.
1. Who am I?
Hint: 18 years old in 1965, his only year with New York. Went 2-0 with a 4.28 ERA in 25 relief appearances. Never played in the majors again. If you don't get this, well Heavens to Bethsy, I'd be shocked.
2. Who am I?
Hint: 22-year-old with the Mets in 1965, his only big league season. Was 1-1 with a 2.72 ERA in 20 games (4 starts) for the club.
3. Who am I?
Hint: Nickname was "Fat _ _ _ _." Played in the majors from 1959 to 1969, 1964 to 1967 with the Mets. Lost 24 games with New York in 1965, led league in losses twice while with New York. Traded by the New York Mets with Buddy Booker, Tommy Davis and Billy Wynne to the Chicago White Sox for Tommie Agee and Al Weis.
