Nope. Number four is Duaner Sanchez.

For #1, Zack Duke and Paul Mahome are not correct. But your are very close with the latter—the first name is right, and the second 'm' is right, as well (but not in the right spot). For #2, Bottalico, Hernandez and Leiter are all correct. For #3, you're getting there. I'll say they were all against a team, but who? (Former Met Danny Graves might have pitched for this team).

5. Throughout our long History, before great they play,

We trade Hall of Famers, to our great dismay.

We had a good player, a young player who...

we traded to get a fat tub of goo.

The fat one stopped hitting, bringing Met fans more tears.

The young one was great, the next 15 years.

This riddle is easy for those that still can...

Take trades like this one and remain a Mets fan.



Who am I?



Hint: Began his Mets career in 1992.
