So we make these plaques – I think we nailed the Top 8 All Time – anybody have any thoughts?

When Alonso wins a ring you can remove Straw
I’m not mad about any of these, but I’d have Koosman over Gary.
No RA Dickey?
I feel like koosman and Beltran should be on here but I’m not sure who I would remove.
Maybe degrom?
I would put Beltran or Pete over Gary.
I like it
I think this is fairly correct. I’m tempted to say Koosman over deGrom, but that’s just because I have the opposite of recency bias.
No John Franco? His dad was a garbage man!
HoJo is missing.
There is no top 8 without Ed Kranepool. Period. Full stop. He is the embodiment of the Mets and deserves WAY more love than the fan base gives him. I LOVE Gary Carter and Keith Hernandez like members of my family, but neither of them belong on this list above Kranepool and I can also argue neither belong above Jerry Koosman.
Koosman, Ed, Alfonzo, HoJo, and MAYBE Beltran are missing, but otherwise this looks pretty good.
Nice
As far as greatness with the team, there are a lot of players who slot in above Carter, who had one great year, one very good year, and three bad years as a Met.
HoJo, Cleon, Beltran, Reyes (I want to say DV is disqualifying but wouldn’t that take out Straw). Honestly, Lindor is already there.
As far as pitchers go, Koosman. But also, Sid Fernandez and Al Leiter aren’t too far behind.
Beltran. Lindor should be in the discussion.
Koosman needs to be on there. But it pains me to remove any of the 8 you have.
1. Tom Seaver
2. David Wright
3. Mike Piazza
4. Darryl Strawberry
5. Keith Hernandez
6. Jacob deGrom
7. Dwight Gooden
8. Carlos Beltran
I can’t argue with what you got but I think you could expand it two rows for a few others.
I like how it’s all newer cards. Where can I buy one?
Koosman,
kranepool
Seaver
Strawberry
Gooden
Keith Hernandez
Carter
Piazza
Wright
