Over at Yahoo!, Jeff Passan has a solid and useful ranking of all the free-agents this winter.
The rankings, comprising of 183 players, list Ex-Mets catcher Vance Wilson as ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ at #183 on the list. Wilson played on the Mets from 1999-2004 primarily as a backup.
In case anybody was worried, a plethora of Ex-Mets join Wilson near the bottom of the list. They include:
- #176 Ricardo Rincon
- #174 Matt Wise
- #172 Trot Nixon
- #170 Tony Armas Jr.
If there were anything that the Mets were really good at, it would be piling up a long list of the worst players in baseball. Way to go guys, represent the orange and blue while negotiating for your minor league contracts, assuming you’re that lucky.
