With his 20th career pitching-credited win, Wheeler moves into a three-way tie with Don Cardwell and Bobby Parnell for 57th place among Mets pitchers.

More impressively, Terry Collins is now in sole possession of second place in the category of games managed by a Met skipper.

10) Jerry Manuel: 417[/list:u:tg5dq1op]
It seems like there hasn't been anybody else moving up this list in recent years, but I guess Johnson, Valentine, Torre, Randolph, and/or Manuel could still add to their totals. Dallas Green, alas, is in the clubhouse.

The once unthinkable — a Mets homer top ten without Ed Kranepool — becomes a little more thinkable.

1) Darryl Strawberry: 252

[Benjamin Grimm]

Jose Reyes may soon knock Ed Kranepool, who was in first place for what seemed like forever, into third place on the all-time hits list.

1. David Wright 1,777
2. Ed Kranepool 1,418
3. Jose Reyes 1,404

[Edgy MD]

It's looking like a tough month for Ed.

Hard to believe Barry Bonds had over 500 SB's. You tend to think of him late in his career when he was built like a 1958 Buick.

I didn't realize Ichiro had so many steals, too.

[Edgy MD]

Zero so far this year.

Looks like he's done, but I've said that before.

Jose has had two hits in the last 13 days. His assault on Ed Kranepool's second-place slot hasn't been very energetic.

Jacob deGrom takes home (or on the West Coast trip) the Mets' first NL Player of the Week Award for 2017, despite not having the advantage several of his predecessors had of facing the Mets the week he earned it.

Jose has narrowed the gap to six. Would like to believe he's past 1,418 when they come home in eleven days. Would also like to believe in bunnies for easter, fairies for teeth and Montero for sixth starter.

[Edgy MD]

Unacknowledged is Ol' Luke catching Edgardo Alfonzo as the ninth-homeriest guy in Mets history.

1) Darryl Strawberry: 252
2) David Wright: 242

Extra-notable in that all of them have come in the Citi Field Era.

Meanwhile, Jose and Keith are deadlocked in a tie for 9th in RBI.

1. David Wright 970
2. Darryl Strawberry 733
3. Mike Piazza 655

5. Ed Kranepool 614

9. Keith Hernandez 468

[Frayed Knot]

The way Jose is hitting these days I think he can break that tie within the next three or four weeks easily.

Jose is now all alone in 9th. Yay.

[Edgy MD]

With the two homers, José also leapfrogs John Milner and visits the Bronx for a tie for 14th place all-time in homers. Twelfth is not out of reach this season.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I remember, when I first started paying attention to such things, Wayne Garrett was 10th in homers for the Mets, with 55. You now need 120 to get into the top ten. (It really shouldn't have taken 56 years for that to happen, should it?)

[Edgy MD]

Basically, career offensive achievement didn't happen for the Mets until the eighties.

Not a lot of sustained pitching even. When Ed Lynch left the Mets, he was in their all-time top ten for victories.

This is probably a pretty rare thing, especially this late in the season:

Addison Reed, who hasn't started any games, is fifth on the Mets in innings pitched.

deGrom 97.0
Gsellman 76.0
Harvey 70.1
Wheeler 66.1
Reed 38.1

This is the speed ranking page that Gary mentioned last night (the Mets 4th fastest runner is a catcher):
https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sprint_speed_leaderboard?year=2017&position=&team=NYM

[Benjamin Grimm]

Matt Harvey (19th place), Jacob deGrom (25th place) and Noah Syndergaard (40th place) can expect to climb many slots on the all-time strikeout list. STRIKEOUTS 1. Tom Seaver 2541 2. Dwight Gooden 1875 3. Jerry Koosman 1799 4. Sid Fernandez 1449 5. David Cone 1172 6. Ron Darling 1148 7. Al Leiter 1106 8. Jon Matlack 1023 9. Jon Niese 838 10. Bobby Jones 714 11. Craig Swan 671 12. Tug McGraw 618 13. Johan Santana 607 14. John Franco 592 15. Rick Reed 590 16. Steve Trachsel 580 17. Gary Gentry 563 18. Al Jackson 561 19. Matt Harvey 525 20. Tom Glavine 516 21. Jesse Orosco 506 21. Mike Pelfrey 506 23. Oliver Perez 494 24. Nolan Ryan 493 25. Jacob deGrom 492 26. Dillon Gee 489 27. Jack Fisher 475 28. R. A. Dickey 468 29. John Maine 467 30. Pedro Martinez 464 31. Bob Ojeda 459 32. Armando Benitez 456 33. Bartolo Colon 415 34. Jim McAndrew 408 35. Dave Mlicki 402 36. Aaron Heilman 395 37. Pat Zachry 391 38. Bret Saberhagen 388 39. Frank Viola 387 40. Noah Syndergaard 384 41. Ray Sadecki 380 42. Pete Falcone 379 43. Skip Lockwood 368 44. Rick Aguilera 351 45. Pedro Feliciano 350 46. Glendon Rusch 313

Jacob deGrom has indeed moved up quite a bit on the strikeout list:

1. Tom Seaver 2541
2. Dwight Gooden 1875
3. Jerry Koosman 1799
4. Sid Fernandez 1449
5. David Cone 1172
6. Ron Darling 1148
7. Al Leiter 1106
8. Jon Matlack 1023
9. Jon Niese 838
10. Bobby Jones 714
11. Craig Swan 671
12. Tug McGraw 618
13. Jacob deGrom 617
14. Johan Santana 607
15. John Franco 592
16. Rick Reed 590
17. Steve Trachsel 580
18. Matt Harvey 579
19. Gary Gentry 563
20. Al Jackson 561
21. Tom Glavine 516
22. Jesse Orosco 506
23. Mike Pelfrey 506
24. Oliver Perez 494
25. Nolan Ryan 493


And... Jose Reyes has finally passed Ed Kranepool to move into second place in hits.

1. David Wright 1777
2. Jose Reyes 1421
3. Ed Kranepool 1418

He's slowly advancing on the ever-idle David Wright, but time is not on his side.
