Where Mets Rank, 2012

[Edgy MD]

Top Ten Hitmakers in Mets History

1. Ed Kranepool: 1418
   
2. Jos� Reyes: 1300
   
3. David Wright: 1248
   
4. Cleon Jones: 1188
   
5. Edgardo Alfonzo: 1136
   
6. Mookie Wilson: 1112
   
7. Bud Harrelson: 1029
   
8. Mike Piazza: 1028
   
9. Darryl Strawberry: 1025
   
10. Howard Johnson: 997

Pretty dramatic, right? But oh, the drama is thicker than it would seem at first blush. If Wright gets into games at his career rate, he should appear in 149 regular-season contests this season. Assuming that, if he collects his hits at his career rate, he should move past Jos� Reyes into sole possession of second place on the all-time hit list for the Mets. Assuming Reyes hasn't returned to the Mets and continued to add to his hit total, this occurrence should take place in game 51. This should take place on June 1 (weather permitting) , a Friday night and the first of a four-game weekend set against the Cards. Buy tickets now to the whole weekend and you're giving yourself a decent chance to catch some history.

But, assuming he continues, getting into games and getting his hits at his career rate, that could be the last hit milestone he gets to, at least this season. For he would finish the season with 168 hits --- getting him to a career total of 1,416, leaving him two hits short of Kranepool.

TWO!

It strikes me that we're within striking distance, and Wright could crack this record on any given night.

Yes.

5. Howard Johnson 1154
6. Mookie Wilson 1116
7. David Wright 1112
8. Darryl Strawberry 1109

David has passed Darryl Strawberry this season, and is closing in on Mookie Wilson. He has a shot at passing Jerry Grote this year and moving into third place.


AT BATS
1. Ed Kranepool 5436
2. Jos� Reyes 4453
3. Bud Harrelson 4390
4. Cleon Jones 4223

Second place is within David's reach this year.

HOME RUNS
1. Darryl Strawberry 252
2. Mike Piazza 220
3. Howard Johnson 192
4. David Wright 185

David will hopefully pass HoJo this year and go on to become only the third Met to homer 200 times.

2. Ed Kranepool 225

It will be quite a while before anyone dethrones David Wright in this category. Hopefully he'll keep padding his lead for years to come.

Wright's not on pace to pass Strawberry in Ks.

[batmagadanleadoff]

By the end of this season, David Wright might own the Mets offensive career records, for the most part.

Wright's on a pace to finish the season with 816.67 so I guess 800 is pretty much within reach. Daniel Murphy is next on the list among active players, with 136 career RBI, 58th all time among Mets, nestled in between Mackey Sasser and Willie Monta�ez.

Congratulations, David Wright.

Niese, with his seven-year contract, seems to have the best shot right now at becoming only the fourth Mets pitcher to win 100 games.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

I feel like the Mets need to reactivate Darling and Fernandez just long enough to get them into the 100 win club.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Ron mentioned something about that on a broadcast once. Not about being reactivated, but he's very much aware that he had 99 wins as a Met and wishes he had 100.

While they're at it, the Mets could reactivate Tom Seaver too, so that he can get two more.

A day on the bench can be a drag for Wright's record pursuits. A half day on the bench in Milwaukee didn't help either.

Worth tracking as there have only been two 200-hit seasons in team history.
