Cutnpaste: - 1986 Mets, Armondo Rodriquez, Willie Mays, Oliver Perez, and Zach Lutz

1986 Mets:

Dwight Gooden, Sid Fernandez, Ron Darling, Bob Ojeda, Roger McDowell, Jesse Orosco - The 21-year-old Doc Gooden won 17 games for the famous 1986 Mets, but the staff was incredibly balanced. They had a great righty-lefty duo out of the bullpen in Orosco and McDowell. And Fernandez and Darling combined to win 31 games that year. The oft-forgotten man in that staff was Ojeda, who went 18-5 with a team best 2.53 ERA. In two World Series starts, he allowed just three runs against the Red Sox. - bleacherreport.  

Armondo Rodriquez:

The top 50 best prospects in Baseball who are people dont usually talk about.

34. Armando Hernandez (Mets): I like Hernandez as a back of the rotation starter, but he may be more than that. We'll see what happens when he pitches at a higher level. (one of the reasons no one might be talking about him is his name is wrong…)

Willie Mays:

OF Giants, Mets • (1951-1973) Age: 79 … Hall of Fame: 1979 - The personification of the fabled five-tool player, Mays played with an energy, electricity and enthusiasm few could match, and left the game with numbers that were equally vibrant. The center fielder totaled 3,283 hits, 660 home runs and 338 stolen bases, and he is one of only three righthanded hitters with more than 2,000 runs. Ted Williams once said, "They invented the All-Star Game for Willie Mays," who appeared in 24 of them. Mays also won 12 Gold Gloves for his defensive acumen, highlighted by the most famous catch in World Series history, the back-to-home snag in Game 1 of the 1954 championship. Author Pete Hamill wrote that Mays brought an "almost magical quality" to baseball, and he did so at a transcendent time for the game. Mays' tenure as the game's best and most charismatic player coincided with the rise of television and baseball's westward expansion, where as an Alabama native and New York superstar transplanted in California he became an emblem of the game's reach. .stltoday

Oliver Perez:

Oliver Perez tossed four scoreless innings in his first start this offseason with Culiacan in the Mexican Winter League. Perez limited Mexicali to three hits, while striking out four and walking two, on Tuesday night. He allowed a pair of first-inning singles, but kept Mexicali off the scoreboard that frame. Then, in the second inning, Cory Aldridge had a leadoff double off Perez and moved to third with none out on a wild pitch, but was stranded there. Perez issued a pair of one-out walks in the fourth. - espn  

Zach Lutz:

http://www.metsgeek.com/showthread.php?658-Mets-Top-Twenty-Prospects&p=187156  - 19. Zach Lutz. One of the best stat lines in the minor leagues, Lutz just can’t seem to stay healthy. He is 19th on this list due to his reported defensive deficiencies. He is one of two players on this list I’ve never seen play. Best case scenario is a starting third baseman on a lesser division team. His worst case scenario is as a 4A Player. He’ll most likely start 2011 in Triple A.
