Whether he's with them or not, it's make or break. Him not being with them itself is a 'break.'

Mauricio just turned 25. I'd say it's make or break time for him.

I could see bumping Cliff Floyd out of this Hall.

It is strongly encouraged that you also list who you voted for in the thread. I have made votes public so we can keep easier track of the vote totals. The votes of those who exceed the limit of 5 will be voided, unless they are amended before the conclusion of the poll. Last chance for Bartolo Colon and David Cone! On another baseball forum, I ran a project cleverly titled "Our Mets Hall of Fame." As you can see, it is a fairly inclusive Hall; we considered not just stats, but how players contributed to the overall Mets story, lore, ethos etc. Well, I left that forum as I was spending too much time there, but the desire to continue this project never went away. To contour this project more to this community's views and standards, I'm going to run a series of elections to see who folks want to REMOVE from it; since I don't want to see it completely stripped, I'll set the qualifying percentage for removal at 75%, just like the real Hall's standard for election.* I'll do ten names at a time, one poll per week, and you can select up to five names per poll. We can do holdovers for up to three** ballots. 5% will be the cutoff there, also just like the real Hall. *That'll require some finagling to figure out 75% due to how the polls here do percentages, but we'll figure it out. **I originally had 10, but that seemed like too many. ***then I lowered it to three. Then we'll eventually run a series of polls to actually elect people -- the old website got us up to the Mets through 2024, so basically all we'll have to do is 2025 (and probably 2026), so we have time before we get too far behind. Then in the long-winding convoluted process of projects like this, we'll likely do Veterans Committees where we'll reanalyze players not elected, previously removed, etc. some time in the future, as by then the standards of the project here will have been more formally established and some of the players we previously booted might want to be reconsidered.

Well, we didn't get many votes, but early Met Roger Craig is our first removal.

Do we do individual death threads for coaches? Nieto coached for the Mets from 2005 to 2008. He died suddenly just recently. https://www.pennlive.com/sports/2026/04/former-phillies-catcher-world-series-champion-dies-suddenly-at-65.html

Bob Duliba died. https://www.lehighvalleylive.com/sports/2026/04/former-red-sox-cardinals-pitcher-pa-native-dead-at-91.html Who was Bob Duliba? Bob Duliba was an American Major League Baseball relief pitcher who played from 1959 to 1967 for the St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Angels, Boston Red Sox, and Kansas City Athletics. A right-hander, he made his MLB debut in 1959 and worked exclusively out of the bullpen, finishing his career with a 17–12 record, a 3.47 earned run average, and 14 saves across 176 appearances. Duliba’s most productive stretch came in the early 1960s, including a strong 1962 season with St. Louis and a busy 1964 campaign with the Angels, when he ranked among the American League leaders in games pitched and games finished. After a trade to Boston, he led the Red Sox pitching staff in ERA in 1965, demonstrating consistent effectiveness as a reliever before closing out his major league career with Kansas City in 1967. Originally signed by the Cardinals organization as a teenager, Duliba spent several years developing in the minor leagues and also served three years in the military before reaching the majors. Following his playing career, he remained involved in baseball as a coach and educator, including serving as a college head coach, and lived a long life after the game, passing away in 2026 at the age of 91. Tom Nieto died. https://www.pennlive.com/sports/2026/04/former-phillies-catcher-world-series-champion-dies-suddenly-at-65.html Who was Tom Nieto? Tom Nieto was an American professional baseball catcher who played in Major League Baseball from 1984 to 1990 for the St. Louis Cardinals, Montreal Expos, Minnesota Twins, and Philadelphia Phillies. A right-handed hitter and thrower, he compiled a .205 batting average with 5 home runs and 69 RBIs over his career, and was part of the Cardinals team that reached the 1985 World Series. After his playing days, Nieto built a lengthy career in baseball as a coach and manager, including working with the New York Yankees and New York Mets in various roles such as catching instructor and first base coach. He was part of the Mets’ coaching staff until 2008, when he was dismissed alongside manager Willie Randolph during the season. Nieto later managed in the minor leagues, notably leading the New Britain Rock Cats to a playoff berth and serving as manager of the Rochester Red Wings, the Triple-A affiliate of the Twins. Over a long post-playing career, he remained active in player development and coaching before his death in 2026 at the age of 65.

Nariyuki Imakurusu (1967–2026) was a Japanese baseball player who was drafted by the Taiyo Whales in 1989 and later traded to the Seibu Lions, but had only limited appearances in Nippon Professional Baseball before retiring in 1999. After his playing career, he went on to manage the Shinano Grandserows from 2012 to 2013.

Looks like J.D. Martinez is done.

Juan Soto: Soto was diagnosed with a minor strain in his right calf Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. The Mets will hold Soto out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants, but no decision has been made yet on whether to place him on the injured list. The 27-year-old outfielder is optimistic that he'll be able to avoid a trip to the IL, but the team could end up putting him on the shelf if he isn't feeling better within a few days. Injury Calf. Day-To-Day.

Jorge Lopez is off the list, heading to the Saraperos de Saltillo in Mexico. Drew Smith is unavailable again, as he is now in the Twins system. Erasmo Ramirez had to settle on Mexico as well, heading to the Algodoneros de Unión Laguna. The list now looks like: Frankie Montas Jesse Winker Justin Turner Jose Iglesias Justin Wilson Max Kranick Marcus Stroman Adonis Medina Stephen Nogosek Tyler Naquin

Let's see if we can get at least a few more votes.

Always such a whiner. He never looked passionate. He just looked like a sourpuss.

I've been slacking. I haven't watched a single highlight of this season yet. I get more into it when I buy MLB TV at a discount sometime around May.

They got rid of him way too early in 2023 and the fella they got in return, Jeremy Rodriguez, ain't looking too hot down there on the farm. Glad to have him back.

And now wunderkind Cole Fowler has been released! There is no end to it!

Roger Craig is the only one who gets my vote this time. If Edwin Diaz hadn't gone out with a bang in 2025, I might have given him a vote, too. But Craig is the only victim here.

Everyone survives! Benny Agbayani, Wally Backman, Armando Benitez, Ken Boswell and Hubie Brooks were run through the gauntlet, yet they still remain. We might be a big Hall crew after all.

A.J. Minter: The Mets placed Minter (lat) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday. Still on the mend from the left lat surgery he underwent May 12, 2025, Minter is expected to spend the next couple of weeks continuing his rehab program at the Mets' spring training facility in Florida, per MLB.com. The southpaw reliever has been facing hitters for the past few weeks, so he could get the green light to start a rehab assignment at Single-A St. Lucie shortly after the Florida State League season gets underway. Minter is expected to eventually move up to a higher-level affiliate as the final step before he makes his return from the IL. Injury Lat. Est. Return 5/1/2026. Mike Tauchman: Tauchman underwent surgery Thursday to repair the torn meniscus in his left knee, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. Tauchman is expected to miss the first six weeks of the season while he recovers from his operation. He'll report to Triple-A Syracuse once he's healthy but could be bumped up to Queens during the season if Carson Benge struggles during his first season in the bigs. Injury Knee. Est. Return 5/15/2026. Binghamton Rumble Ponies placed RHP Tyler Burch on the 60-day injured list.

Pham is back and Lucchesi is gone again, having been snagged by Los Angeles. The list now looks like: Frankie Montas Jesse Winker Justin Turner Jose Iglesias Justin Wilson Max Kranick Jorge Lopez Marcus Stroman Drew Smith Erasmo Ramirez Adonis Medina Stephen Nogosek Tyler Naquin

Mets released Colby Frieda and Jesus Anton, who'd been in their system since 2023 and managed a 1-3 record and a 12.05 ERA. They also released Pablo Medina, Jermayne Verdu, Anthony Crespo and Colton Cosper.

Heyward was solid. He was expected to be a legend, but ended up being solid. Will get a vote or two in Hall of Fame voting I imagine. 2x Gold Glove-winning catcher Roberto Perez has retired.

Mets legend T.J. McFarland has retired.

Flores is off the list! But Drew Smith is back on it! The Nationals released him. Joey Lucchesi is also back on it, as the Giants released him. The remaining players are now: Frankie Montas Jesse Winker Justin Turner Tommy Pham Jose Iglesias Justin Wilson Max Kranick Jorge Lopez Marcus Stroman Joey Lucchesi Drew Smith Erasmo Ramirez Adonis Medina Stephen Nogosek Tyler Naquin
