[Brady Marino]

The Mets' problem is that they don't even have any good relievers. They're just a wasteland of a franchise. Even if you expanded it to 2012, you'd get Reyes/Wright but that's about it.

They do have a couple usable relievers IN THIS FORMAT.

 

[Kraft...]

Sweated Greco taking this guy, can't let him go another round with yankee/OF slots still open on some teams.

Bobby Murcer, OF Yankees

Solid bat plus the CF glove I need

Roger Nelson KC

was looking at him for midle relief. Hard to find places for 5 IP/G "starters" ... but the tandem idea floated around earlier was a good idea.

Yeah, I have plenty of starting pitching so he'll be a middle reliever. It's nice to not have them gas out after 15 pitches.

METS RUN!

13.03 -- Jesse Orosco, Middle Relief

He retired when he was 46 years old, one of the oldest players to still be playing in the modern age. Orosco is one of only 29 players in baseball history to date to have appeared in Major League games in four decades.

Orosco also provided one of the most memorable images of the 1986 World Series and it would become an iconic image to the Mets and their fans: after striking out Marty Barrett to end the series, he threw his glove way up in the air and immediately dropped to his knees while catcher Gary Carter ran out to the mound to embrace him. The photo was taken by Mets photographer George Kalinsky, who's also the photographer at Madison Square Garden. For many years—and probably to the chagrin of Red Sox fans—this was the final scene shown during the ending credits of the syndicated Major League Baseball news show This Week in Baseball.

Coincidentally, Jerry Koosman, whom the Mets had traded to Minnesota in the deal that brought Orosco to New York, was on the mound for the final out of the 1969 World Series—to date, the only other Fall Classic the Mets have won. The final batter in that World Series, Davey Johnson, would be Orosco's manager on the '86 World Championship team.

He finished his career with an ERA of 3.16, and is the all-time record holder for games (by a pitcher), with 1252. He has 74 more than Cincinnati Reds' reliever Mike Stanton who is second with 1178.

Orosco became eligible for the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2009. 75% of the vote was necessary for induction, and 5% was necessary to stay on the ballot. He received 0.2% of the vote and dropped off the ballot.

13.03 -- Jesse Orosco, Middle Relief

my next pick!

 

[larry_boy_44]

Skip Lockwood, RP, New York Mets

Looking again, I'm pretty sure his 1976 year is better than any of Orosco's anyways...

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Happy to be done with my Ranger, my Astro, my Royal and my Met now. Feel like I have 4 useful guys.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Skip Lockwood, RP, New York Mets

Looking again, I'm pretty sure his 1976 year is better than any of Orosco's anyways...

More walks, more homers, less IP, right-handed. All depends on what you want I guess.

[Super Nintendo Chalmers]

Still on tilt from the Rose pick. Even thought of moving Gossage to the Pirates and taking Murcer. I'm pretty sure I will regret this at some point:

13.05 Roger Bresnahan, OF Giants

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

A's in the lead with 19 teams having one. Giants number two with 18.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Roger Nelson KC

He was part of a major trade with the Baltimore Orioles which sent Don Buford to Baltimore and brought future Hall of Famer Luis Aparicio back to the White Sox

After one season with Baltimore, he was chosen by the Kansas City Royals with the first selection in the American League phase of the 1968 Major League Baseball expansion draft. Along with Wally Bunker, Nelson formed a formidable starting duo for the expansion Royals in 1969, compiling a 3.31 ERA in 29 starts.

That offseason, Nelson was traded to the Cincinnati Reds in a deal that would bring long-time Royals mainstay Hal McRae to Kansas City for the first time.

13.06 - John Mayberry, 1B, Royals

Team scarcity, walks and pop.

13.07 Cliff Johnson, OF/C/1B, Astros

terrible defense, but .991 ops and can serve as 3rd catcher, 2nd 1B, and 5th OF

Does anyone not have any players from the 16 that weren't active in 1903? (Angels, Astros, Brewers, Jays/Mariners, Expos, Mets, Padres, Royals, Rangers)...Does anyone have all 9 of those spots full?It'll be interesting to see if stocking up on the older franchises and punting some/most of the newer ones is a better or worse strategy than picking the newer ones first and taking lesser players from the older franchises. Hopefully we have someone at both extremes.
