Mets Qiz

[Fman99]

Tyler Naquin is just the sixth Met ever that had a Q in his name, as per the UMDB. Can you name the others? Usual one guess per post, non consecutive guesses only please.

This is shameful that I didn't get this. I'm part Paquette. And my grandmother naturally adored this guy.

Good quiz!

[Frayed Knot]

If someone remains unidentified in this thread is that player then QANoN?

One left to get.



Quattlebaum was a coach only, and never played a game as a Met

[Benjamin Grimm]

Could the Q be in the first name? The Mets may have had an Enrique at some point?

[metsmarathon]

quilvio veras? was he ever a met?

[kcmets]

Even with a massive cheating exercise the final Q is elusive!

[metsmarathon]

i peeked. it's some dude whose name never occurred to me, and who logged a total of 33 plate appearances in 22 games, with appearances at 2b, ss, and lf.

[Edgy MD]

And he appears to have touched down between 1988 and 2012.

Another hint: he came to the Mets in a deadline deal. In that deal, the player traded away (to TX) was a much more familiar face and presence in our lineup and is still involved in baseball as a broadcaster.



And yes, the 'q' is in his first name in this instance.

Man, for a year or two there, Shaquille O'Neal was a helluva reserve shortstop.

Great reporting there [on Luis Hernandez]. And while you're on the mend, maybe you can give us another in depth write-up on our next fringe Met -- Joaquin Arias -- conjured up by your own last post. Just 30 Mets AB's, all in 2010, Arias was a midle infielder who didn't do much of anything. He was the player to be named later that the Rangers got from the Yankees when they sent A-Rod and his gazillion dollar salary to the Bronx. Arias is featured on Typewriter's 2010 Rock and Roll set because, natch, that was the set for the 2010 Mets. Whachyouse got on Arias?

I would have only gotten Mets #1 and #5 from this list.

[Edgy MD]

All players from the hitting side of the game. All names from the Latin world (four of Spanish origin, two of French). A disproportionate amount of players who went into coaching and the like.



Pedrique, in addition to a disastrous half season managing the Diamondbacks, scouted José Altuve for the Astros and supposedly lied about Altuve's size in order to get them to sign the guy.
