Met of the 2010's

[Frayed Knot]

So there were 143 different Mets who played during the 2010's and also placed at least once in one of our ten Top-30 lists covering the seasons from 2010 to 2019.
For the #1 slot of the decade the race wasn't even close to being close. With appearances in six of the ten seasons, deGrom landed four 1st place slots, one second
place finish, and one fourth, and by doing so racked up a score more than 40% higher than the next highest man.
After that things proceeded at fairly close intervals all the way down the list.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Duda! He's gonna be forgotten about like Howard Johnson

[Ceetar]

unless he opens a restaurant/hotel chain.

[seawolf17]

I would absolutely make "Duda's" a stop on all of our road trips.

[seawolf17]

Also, could you imagine in 2010 that Wright wouldn't be #1 on this list and that Reyes wouldn't even be in the top ten?

[smg58]

Could you imagine in 2015 that Matt Harvey wouldn't make the top 10?

In 2010 I'd have guessed there was a real chance of Reyes signing elsewhere, but Wright was a Met lifer on the track to Cooperstown.

[seawolf17]

Or that Jon Niese would be top FIVE?!?

[Frayed Knot]

And of course a lot of this is just the arbitrary result of falling within a specific 'decade'.

- Wright is 2nd overall, but earned more than half his total CPF points prior to 2010 and was done earning any big points by 2014

- Reyes IS a Top-10 NYM overall (7th) but not a Top-10 2010's Met since he earned close to 65% of his points in 2009 or earlier

- Niese is the kind of case that always stirs up debate about the CPF Rankings Project.
He debuted in 2010 (aside from cuppa-coffee innings in '08-'09) so his timing was good, and then averaged nearly 30 starts/year for six straight years which means he took the mound almost exactly
the same number of times this decade as did JdG (169 vs 171). Now he's not nearly as good as deGrom of course but his time still earned him five Top-10 placements in those six seasons: 8th, 10th,
3rd, 6th, 6th, 12th [vs JdG's 2nd, 1st, 4th, 1st, 1st, 1st] and those kind of points add up. The only guys with as many years in the decade but behind Niese in points are guys like Familia, Tejeda, and
Lagares who, through injuries or the loss of starting jobs, have too many seasons where they snagged only back of the pack points which barely budge one's overall score.


To compare, G-FaFiF's [url=http://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2019/12/25/the-top-100-mets-of-the-2010s/]much more subjective list[/url] moves down the likes of longer-term workhorses in favor of guys with more 'impact' even if only during short spans such as the likes of Dickey, Cespedes, Harvey, etc.
