Friday Trivia: Mets
 

Name the top 7 position players all time in WAR while playing for the New York Mets.

David Wright
Dwight Gooden
Daryl Strawberry
Tom Seaver
Jerry Kooseman
Pete Alonso
Francisco Lindor

Just to clarify, it's position players I'm asking for... you got three of them:

Wright is #1 (49.1 WAR)
Straw is #2 (36.6 WAR)
Lindor is #6 (27.3 WAR)

Mike Piazza
Gary Carter
HoJo

Keith "HOF" Hernandez

None of these make the cut.

Hernandez is #7 (26.7 WAR).

We have four out of the seven...

Mookie Wilson

Wally Backman (I know it isn't him, but shout out anyway!)

Duh, Beltran

Cleon Jones

Jose Reyes
Franciso Lindor

Well done!

Beltran is #3 (31.1)
Alfonzo is #4 (29.6)
Reyes is #5 (27.9)

Bonus question: who is #8? (They haven't been guessed yet)

I originally guessed Reyes and Kranepool just because he was there forever and there seems to be very few Mets lifers, but I was worried he didn't rack up much WAR, then I remembered how good Alfonso was for a few years.

Yeah, Kranepool's War numbers aren't high enough despite playing many years with the team. Similar to Cleon Jones.

Alfonzo is the guy I completely forgot about myself when I saw the list. #8 might surprise some people too...
