With one manager, one player for the position slots, two starters, and two relievers, the results:
Manager: Davey Johnson
C: Mike Piazza
1B: Keith Hernandez
2B: Edgardo Alfonzo
SS: Jose Reyes
3B: David Wright
LF: Cleon Jones
CF: Carlos Beltran
RF: Darryl Strawberry
SP: Tom Seaver
SP: Jerry Koosman
RP: Roger McDowell
RP: Tug McGraw
I think it's a pretty good list, one I'd agree with and play for fantasy baseball All-Time games...
If I questioned anything, it'd be the pitchers--
With so many great pitchers for the Mets, aside from Seaver being a lock for the "ace" slot, I'd maybe choose differently:
He burned out fast, but given how great he was at his height, I might take Doc Gooden over Koosman, or maybe Ron Darling put Ron Darling on the All-Time Team (good pitching and then his announcing for the team and place with the Mets maybe elevating him over Doc and Koos, at least putting him in the discussion) and while I know he's not at all in the discussion for the #2 pitcher on an All-Time Mets team, the 9-year old kid in me wishes Al Leiter could've made the squad.
Same with the relief pitchers--I'd have preferred John Franco in there, I'm not sure who I'd pick him over...
But still, a great list, and if they had a full 25-man team, I'm sure all those guys would be on it.
What do you guys think?
And they didn't pick announcers, but if they DID...say you could have 3 total, any combo of Mets TV/Radio voices--who would you pick?
I'd take Ralph Kiner and Gary Cohen on TV, Bob Murphy on radio (again, the selfish person in me wants to take Howie Rose for radio since I've heard the most Mets games over radio via his call, but no doubting Murphy belongs there, and anyway, at least I've obviously had the luck to catch some of Gary's games, and even a couple days now when Kiner calls an inning or two...he sounds so fun, even in his old age and slower, I can only imagine how good he must've been back in the day.)
