seawolf17 Old-Timey Member Posted March 19, 2017 Author Posted March 19, 2017 Starting to get some good wrong guesses, kids. Nice. And Batmags jumps into second!From yesterday:3. 1985-89: 3-16 in 185 games as a Met, even getting some MVP support, before being traded and winning a ring. RANDALL KToday:1. 1962: 1-5, 6.22 in 36 games and 1-15 at the plate in this Quebecois' only MLB season. RAY DAVIAULT2. 1971-73: Largely unimpressive as a Met (3-15 at the plate), then won the 1974 ERA title with Atlanta. BUZZMAN CAPRA3. 1975: 2-15 riding the Tidewater shuttle as a spare outfielder. BOB GALLAGHER4. 1985: 1-15 as a Met. Famously finished his Mets career during a June game. TERRY BLOCKER5. 1990-2004: 0-15. JOHN FRANCO6. 1995: 2-15 as a Met, then traded for the other Pedro Martinez. JEFF BARRY7. 1998: 2-15 in five games in May before he became expendable. RICK WILKINS, THE PRE-PIAZZA8. 2006: Big piece of the 2006 team - including a particularly solid appearance in the NLCS - despite only getting 2 hits in 15 AB.

Got hurt in his first major league game.4. 2004: 3-14 as a Met, his only MLB plate appearances; spent four years with the white Sox and a year each in Detroit and Cleveland.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 1966: I don't know, but how does a guy walk that many and strike out that few and put up an ERA of only 3.52?That's some magic that even Álex Torres could envy.
