Ex-mets in 07

[Vic Sage]

I was noticing that Keppinger and Scutaro were doing well recently, and i got to thinking how many other ex-Mets (guys who were Mets "property" at some point in their careers, even if just in the minors) had made appearances (ABs or IP) with other major league teams this year.

Here's the list, as far as i can tell:

OF
M.Cameron
C.Floyd
X.Nady
V.Diaz
G.Matthews
J.Payton
T.Perez
T.Redman

It's not a list that necessarily sends shudders of regret down my spine.

Am i missing anybody?

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Vance Wilson?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Preston Wilson jumps out at me.

Yancy tracks this stuff, but I don't think his is perfect either.

I check in and update it a few times a year. There's always somebody I miss, though, and I usually catch them over the winter when I do a final accounting.

If you spot anyone who I don't have, please let me know.

I have 35 players who were active in 2006 who, as far as I know, have not played in the big leagues in 2007. (Cory Lidle would increase the list to 36 players, but as he's dead at the present time, I doubt he'll see any action this year.)

Manny Alexander
Edgardo Alfonzo
Pedro Astacio
Kris Benson
Jeromy Burnitz
Mike DeJean
Scott Erickson
Alex Escobar

Hmmmm, I wonder what he's been up to...?

[Guest Mendoza Line]

If minor leaguers are included, Jason Bay makes the ex-Met club and might even be their best player. I'm still not shuddering with regret, though.

Was also thinking Eli Marrero, but it looks like Eli's come and gone.

Well, Preston Wilson (Cards) jumps out at me. Joe Hietpas is at St. Lucie. Ambiorix Burgos is with the Gulf Coasters. Lino Urdaneta has played at every level.

[nymr83]

you're missing Jason Bay if you are including guys who were only in the minors here.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Nope, just looking at major leaguers.


I have Preston:

]St. Louis Cardinals Gary Bennett, Jason Isringhausen, Braden Looper, Kelly Stinnett, Preston Wilson

I do have to catch up on my minor league stuff, though. I'm aware that I'm missing a bunch, including Pedro Martinez's recent minor league games.

[MFS62]

Timo Perez has played three (3) games with Detroit in 2007.

Thank you! Database has been updated.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Benitez needs to be with the Marlins, as well as the Giants.


That's all I got right now.

[Frayed Knot]

Several of the guys you do have on your 2007 list have changed teams mid-season:
Benitez, Wheeler, Julio, Wigginton,

Timo Bleeping Perez is the owner of two World Series rings, if you can believe it. (White Sox and Cardinals)

Could have been three if it wasn't for Timo Bleeping Perez.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

How can we forget Jeff Kent?

[Valadius]

Desi Relaford's played in 14 games for the Texas Rangers this season, and he's missing from the list.

[Vic Sage]

DOH!

Kent, Wilson and Bay.
got it.

[Valadius]

Oh, and Kenny Rogers pitched in 6 games for Detroit this season.

he's not missing from MY list.

[Valadius]

No, but John Thomson (2 games for KC) is missing from both lists.

[Valadius]

Dan Wheeler's now pitched 5 games for Tampa Bay.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Thanks! I now believe I'm caught up, unless there have been any other former Mets player moves that I missed while I was away. (I did get Kane Davis as a Phillie, and it appears that Trachsel has not yet pitched for the Cubs this year.)

Anyone aware of anything else?

Royce Ring pitched for the Braves this weekend.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Thanks. I had no idea he was a Brave.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Craig Brazell, leading the minors in homers this year, finall got called up by the Royals: http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070904/SPORTS/709040325/1002

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Hopefully he'll do for the Yankees playoff hopes this weekend what he did to the Cubs' in 04.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I just found out that Rick White pitched in six games for Seattle this season.
