Question on Nimmo

[metirish]

I like Nimmo , but all time Met ? What even makes an all time great Mets player ? Has to be more than numbers , right? Are thse numbers really meaningful?

[Benjamin Grimm]

He's been rising in the ranks. Only 19 players have appeared in more Mets games than Nimmo has:



1. Ed Kranepool 1,853

2. David Wright 1,585

3. Jose Reyes 1,365

4. Bud Harrelson 1,322

5. Jerry Grote 1,235

6. Cleon Jones 1,201

7. Howard Johnson 1,154

8. Mookie Wilson 1,116

9. Darryl Strawberry 1,109

10. Edgardo Alfonzo 1,086

11. Lee Mazzilli 979

12. Mike Piazza 972

13. Rusty Staub 942

14. Rey Ordonez 916

15. Daniel Murphy 903

16. Wayne Garrett 883

17. Keith Hernandez 880

18. Carlos Beltran 839

19. Todd Hundley 829

20. Brandon Nimmo 822

I guess it's easy to forget how long he's been around

[Edgy MD]

There's also nobody on that list that is really analagous to him in terms of profile. He's a little bit Mookie, a little bit Mazzilli, and a little bit Wayne Garrett.

[Fman99]

The Mets have 96 more games to play this year. He could move up to 15-16 overall by the end of the season

[batmagadanleadoff]

He's been a Met for a long time now. This is his ninth season as a Met.

Strikes out too much. Keith didn't.



I just dumped nimmo from my fantasy team for the second or third year in a row. Not drafting him again.



Not a fan

I'll give him credit, for several years I thought he was a good 4th outfielder ( hardly an original thought)

[Chad ochoseis]

You take a guy who is a bit above average at just about everything - he'd even started to get good at CF before he was put in a corner - and you get someone who is really good overall.
