New York Mets 2000 rotation was made of winners and workhorses

The New York Mets starting rotation in 2000 featured five men who all finished with a record of .500 or better. While not unheard of it, it’s an accomplishment worthy of a nice tip of the cap.

In the middle of the Steroid Era, swatting home runs were all the rage. Pitchers were still capable of tossing a complete game and bullpens were made up of mostly failed starting pitchers and not arms groomed to throw in relief.

Ten different men started games for the 2000 Mets with five of them making up 11 of those starts.
