Edgy MD Site Manager Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Several Mets who you never expected came aboard in the last month. They come with high numbers and mixed backgrounds, and joined the team from outside the organization.The best performer among them is the best performer among them. In fact, as I type this, Billy McKinney just hit his second homerun of the game. But who is the guy who most bonded. Who is the one who most clearly became "Oh, yeah, he's a Met"?
Ceetar Grand Central Contributor Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Totally don't believe Billy McKinney is a real person.
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 I don't see how we can be expected to vote considering it's impossible to tell who is Brandon Drury versus Billy McKinney versus Whatever Blankenhorn. I feel like the Baseball Gods are fucking around with me for starting the discussion on Dark Horse Mets.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 These fill-ins have been terrific, at least in several cases. It will be hard for the Mets to decide who has to go to make room for the returning regulars.
kcmets Old-Timey Member Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Speaking of Dark Horse Mets, I believe I chose Luis Rojas. *cough* *cough*3 1/2 games up in first place, baby! lol

Perhaps I should have.In many ways, Cameron Maybin was the Metliest of then all.
Willets Point Old-Timey Member Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 It will be nice to have a Mets team with more depth than Crater Lake.
Lefty Specialist Old-Timey Member Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 If you include organization guys, Patrick Mazeika wins in a walkoff.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted June 10, 2021 Author Posted June 10, 2021 Well put.It's really interesting when you think about how desperate their promotion of him was. They needed help at every position but catcher, but he was the only batsman left who didn't require them to remove somebody else from the roster.

Putting Mazeika on the 40 man? What if we get stuck in a roster crunch?Come on. Be realistic. Do you know how many guys would have to get hurt before we even consider calling him up? And even if we do, it's not like he's going to bat in any big spots.
Lefty Specialist Old-Timey Member Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Lol. The deepest, darkest, most pitch black of dark horse Mets. And good for him, becoming a minor folk hero. We'll always remember that beard.
