cespedes 2016

Well as 2016 comes to a close, it is obviously time to name the Mets All-Century Team for the 21st century.  Even though reasonable people know there was no year zero and thus the 21st century began in 2001, I will include 2000 so we don’t have to get into minutia.

C-  Mike Piazza

1B – Carlos Delgado

2B – Daniel Murphy.  Alfonzo a consideration, especially because I was nice and included his All Star year in 2000, but .243 in 2001 and spent 2002 at third

SS – Jose Reyes

3B – David Wright

LF – Yoenis Cespedes

CF – Carlos Beltran

RF – Curtis Granderson

Pitchers – Al Leiter (65 wins), Tom Glavine (61) and saves leader Armando Benitez

Manager – Terry Collins.  Most wins.  Playoffs.
