Meet the Mets
NY Mets Shortstop Jose Reyes
The New York Mets spark plug is Jose Reyes. When Jose Reyes can get things going for the Mets by getting on base the excitement amongst Mets fans instantly rises. Jose Reyes is always a threat to steal a base, his 78 steals in 2007 was the most by any player from a New York team in a season. Reyes led the league in steals in 2005, 2006, and 2007. As the team leader in runs scored, Jose is the catalyst for a lot of the New York Mets big innings. The New York Mets wins and losses on the season correspond to Jose Reyes' performance on any given day. Jose Reyes means that much to the Mets success. Defensively, Jose Reyes is a very talented shortstop who can make highlight reel plays that rob batters of hits. Jose Reyes is one of Mets fans top favorites on this team because of the excitement he brings to the lineup and his fun loving personality which is seen with his playful interactions with his teammates.
NY Mets Third Baseman David Wright
David Wright is the five tool superstar 3rd baseman for the New York Mets. David Wright was the first New York Met in history to have 3 consecutive 100 RBI seasons. Wright hits home runs at a solid rate and is a force in the middle of the Mets lineup. David Wright is also one of the top run scorers on the New York Mets. As a five tool player, David Wright also has the speed to steal bases and hits for a high batting average. New York Mets fans love David Wright, an all around good guy and someone who obviously enjoys playing baseball. The New York Mets playoff and World Series hopes rest in David Wright's hands, he needs to continually contribute with his bat, his speed, and his defense if the Mets are to be a contender in October.
NY Mets Centerfielder Carlos Beltran
Carlos Beltran is the clean up hitting superstar on the Mets who can win games with his bat or with his glove. A gold glove winning center fielder, Carlos Beltran consistently makes difficult plays look routine while robbing opponents of extra base hits. Carlos Beltran combines everything you would want from your clean up hitter. Beltran has clutch power, evidenced by his record tieing 8 home runs with Houston Astros in the 2004 playoffs. Beltran also tied the Mets single season record for home runs with 41 after joining the team a few years ago. With power comes RBI's, and Beltran drives in runners consistently. However, Beltran's skills don't stop at just defense and power, his speed on the bases is also remarkable. Scoring runs and stealing bases makes Carlos Beltran a five-tool run producing superstar. Another favorite amongst New York Mets fans for his offensive and defensive capabilities, Carlos Beltran also brings a great attitude and warm smile to the ballpark everyday.
NY Mets Left Fielder Moises Alou
Several players have played left field for the Mets recently because of injuries. Normally, Moises Alou would be the starter. Moises Alou is a long time veteran who still has power and hits for a good average.
NY Mets First Baseman Carlos Delgado
Carlos Delgado is the New York Mets 1st basemen who when hot can carry the Mets offense for long stretches of the season. Usually batting fifth or sixth in the lineup behind Carlos Beltran or David Wright, Carlos Delgado often takes advantage of having runners on base in front of him by slugging the ball for doubles or home runs. Delgado is a talented 1st baseman, maybe not the best in the league but still above average for his position defensively. Lately, Carlos Delgado has lost some of his power and his batting average is down from where it once was, but New York Mets fans continue to support him because they know if he connects with the ball he can send any pitch for a ride.
NY Mets Second Baseman Luis Castillo
Luis Castillo is a veteran baseball player who has been in the big leagues for a long time. Luis Castillo still has speed and the ability to score runs while adding the occasional home run. Defensively, second baseman Luis Castillo is solid.

- Pitcher
Catchers Brian Schneider and Ramon Castro are pretty good. Brian Schneider, who came to the Mets with Ryan Church via the Lastings trade from Washington, is an excellent defensive catcher. In a backup role, catcher Ramon Castro regularly hits home runs when he has an opportunity to play.
NY Mets Right Fielder Ryan Church
Ryan Church has been a huge addition to the New York Mets lineup in 2008 after being traded from Washington. Quickly becoming popular amongst Mets fans, Ryan Church has surprisingly unleashed a more powerful bat then what was initially expected of him.
NY Mets Super-sub Endy Chavez
Super-sub Endy Chavez will always be remembered for his highlight reel catch in the 2006 playoffs. It was the sixth inning of game 7 against the St. Louis Cardinals when Scott Rolen drove a pitch to deep left field. Endy Chavez made a spectacular catch as he robbed Rolen of a home run with a over the fence reaching snow cone type catch that could be considered the greatest defensive play in Mets postseason history. An alert Endy Chavez stayed focused after making the catch and immediately threw the ball to second base for a double play. "Within the context of a game, that was the most unbelievable play I've ever seen on a baseball diamond," Mets first baseman Carlos Delgado said. "When I got to the fence, I thought I had no chance," Chavez said. "I've made some good catches in my career, but I never took away a home run like that."
NY Mets Starting Pitchers
Pedro Martinez, Johan Santana, John Maine, Oliver Perez, and Mike Pelfrey are the starting pitchers for the New York Mets. When healthy, Pedro Martinez is a force that can be dominant. Johan Santana is easily one of the greatest pitchers to ever put on a New York Mets jersey. Still in the prime of his career, Venezuelan native Johan Santana is a strike out machine who makes great hitters look silly. John Maine is a streaky pitcher who can be very effective at times. With a good variety of pitches, John Maine can keep opposing batters off balance and keep the game close enough for the Mets hitters to have a regular chance to win games. The supersticious and erratic Oliver Perez has a lot of talent, but his mental toughness often comes into question. Mike Pelfrey is one of several New York Mets who have been used as the 5th starter in the rotation. A talented youngster, Mike Pelfrey has been gaining experience over the last couple of years which can hopefully make him a serious factor on the Mets pitching staff in the future. Other starting pitchers are Claudio Vargas and Orlando Hernandez.
NY Mets Bullpen
The Mets bullpen is led by all star closer Billy Wagner. Billy Wagner is a hard throwing strikeout machine who normally closes the door on opposing teams in the ninth inning earning the save and securing the Mets win. Besides Billy Wagner, the New York Mets bullpen has some talented relievers in Scott Schoeneweis, Pedro Feliciano, Joe Smith, and Aaron Heilman.
