Darryl put up 37.7 WAR in his Mets career. Beltran is at 32.1 but with 1000 fewer plate appearances.

I think Gary was referring to defense.

I'll take Straw for all around but its' splitting hairs I guess.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Here's the exact quote:

Ron: Best all-around outfielder to ever play, to ever wear that Mets uniform. Gary: And I think you can say that unequivocally.

Okay, Ron did say "all-around" so I guess he was including offense as well as defense.

Darryl or Carlos? I wouldn't say it's "unequivocal"; more of a toss-up.

[TransMonk]

Semantics...but, Edgy's got a point with the way the question was phrased.

Yeah, that was surprising.

Beltran's pushing my top-5 overall among Mets, and, for my money, is far and away the best all-around outfielder.

Sat in natural light listening to today's game on a pocket radio, which is to say was experiencing a Met-like power outage. Electricity came on after Beltran's last at-bat. Not sure what to make of the symbolism.
