Richard Hidalgo: 86 games in 2004.

Edgy MD wrote: Cuddyer never happened. He just didn't.

My memory of Cuddyer is of killing rallies in the 2015 postseason, but it doesn't actually look like he had all that many at bats (especially few in the World Series) so I guess that memory is inflated.

[Edgy MD]

Holy shit, Chris Carter!



What a nondescript Met with a nondescript name, but I was trying to recall Rod Barajas' name and Chris Carter just jumped in there.

I got a rule-fiver in my head. A lefthanded corner outfielder/first baseman/pinch hitter we stole (I think) from the Phillies, possibly for the 2011 season. He had a dozen homers and a strong year but disappeared. He might have played a few dozen games in a second Mets season, though.



Anybody know who I'm thinking of? I think his name invoked a bird or something, like "Hawkins."

[seawolf17]

I'm not sure who you're thinking of - the only Rule 5 guy I can think of around that time was Brad Emaus, but I don't think he made it to the end of April.

[Edgy MD]

Eric Valent!



Actually from 2004, so not close, and he lasted into the 2005 season before disappearing, thus disqualifying himself.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Bad decision on his part.

[MFS62]

Jason Pridie



Later

[Centerfield]

Rod Barajas.

[seawolf17]

Pridie, another guy who I would have figured for maybe 150-200 ABs.

Yeah, Jason Pridie was a star of the Wifey Watch Thread back in his day.



There's a lefty pinch-hitter called up in 2003 named Matt whose last name I'm failing to grab. He sticks out because Valentine complained openly about not having a veteran pinch-hitter. It was this Matt guy or, by the end of the season, Mike Glavine.



Did Matt Whoever get into 100 games?

[Edgy MD]

Watson ... not even remotely close. Not a whole lot more than Glavine, even.

[seawolf17]

Good ol' double-zero is on the list.

[seawolf17]

The two remaining guys are both middle infielder types.

[Edgy MD]

John Valentin, I think, may have gotten into 100 games thanks in part to his Boston buddy Mo Vaughn not always being able to answer the bell.

[MFS62]

Bill (I keep telling ya', I don't know projections) Pecota.

I missed the entire quiz. And that's OK because I would not have come up with a single one of these forgettable schlubs.
