Hooray

Who was the last real good pitcher who came of age as a Met?

Doc.

No, seriously.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Cone came after Doc, I would think.

[Gwreck]

Ok, true. I guess you could throw Darling and/or Fernandez out there as potential choices too.

Definetly no one in the 90's or '00s.

Define "real good."

Jones had a run of about 5 good years here before he started sucking, at this point Maine is no more accomplished than he was after a year and a half with the Mets.

A shout out to Randy Meyers.

[nymr83]

Yeah, I only started thinking about starters. Myers was good for the Mets.

True, but he also came from Kansas City.

Of course....

The key phrase which started this whole discussion was "came of age as a Met", meaning that it's not just limited to those who came up through the system. The ones who first broke through in the blue & orange - like Cone or Meyers - count for the same reason Maine does.
