If you had forgotten that Carlos Delgado was once a catching prospect, raise your hand. Mine is already raised.

Later

I remembered Delgado as a catcher. I do not remember Jae Seo as a Dodger.

Chubbier than the Seo I remember too.

You'd be hard-pressed to compile a team of ex-Mets on any other team that can rival the ex-Met Dodgers:

1. Rickey Henderson CF
2. Jeff Kent 2B
3. Mike Piazza C
4. Darryl Strawberry RF
5. Gary Sheffield LF
6. Gil Hodges 1B
7. Robin Ventura 3B
8. Jose Vizcaino SS
9. Pedro Martinez P

Wow. I'm counting three Hall of Famers who didn't make your team: Dook, Kid, and Eddie Murray.

Who's your reliever? Say it's Orosco and make my day.

[Edgy MD]

To be fair, some o' those are ex-Mets, and some future Mets.

Did we ever do a discussion of the all-time "Met/Team X" guys? Guys who are recognizably associated with both franchises. Pedro Martinez maybe being the ultimate MetDodger, for example.

[Edgy MD]

Pedro is a Sock, more than anything. Mike Piazza is ultimate MetDodger.
