But for a guy that actually played on that team, these 2017 Mets have the potential to be even better.
“If it’s not the best, it’s one of the best,” Jose Reyes told Newsday’s Laura Albanese. “We had a very good one in 2006, but talent-wise, I think this one is the best team that I’ve ever had, to be honest with you.”
That 2006 team was really, really good though. Not only did you have a middle of the order that could absolutely crush the ball Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado, and David Wright in his prime, but you also had two future Hall of Famers in Tom Glavine and Pedro Martinez anchoring the rotation.
