The following are a series of clues for you to guess three different ex-Mets:

Player #1 (easy):

  • This 6′7″ RHP pitched in 29 games for the Mets in 2002, with 22 of them as starts.
  • He was acquired from the Mets as a part of a deal with the Brewers that also netted them OF Jeromy Burnitz.
  • He finished his career with Pittsburgh and Cleveland. 
  • In his career, he hit 2 HRs.

Player #2 (medium):

  • This 1B played 53 games for the Mets in 2005. 
  • In his 15 MLB seasons, he batted .273 with 537 RBIs.
  • He played for seven different teams: Dodgers, Royals, Red Sox, Mariners, Twins, Phillies and Mets.
  • He now plays for the LI Ducks.  Last year in a game for the Ducks he attacked the pitcher and catcher with his bat after being hit with a pitch.  He was presented with criminal charges, and remains on probation.

Player #3 (hard)

  • This player was the opening day catcher for the Mets in 1998.  He played only 21 games for the Mets, batting .137 with 3 RBIs. 
  • After being a 5th round pick of the Royals, he began his career with the Royals in 1999.  In between he played for the Mets and Expos.
  • Although he batted only .198 in his career, his strongest statistical year was his last when he ‘mashed’ with 9 HRs and 26 RBIs in 155 ABs.
