New York Mets outfield in 2000 was an underrated offensive force

Throughout their history, the New York Mets have had some pretty good outfielders. Even the present team has an abundance of talent beyond the infield dirt. Back in 2000, the three men who patrolled the outfield most were an offensive force I’m not so too many people still appreciate.

In left field, we had Benny Agbayani who seemed to come out of nowhere. In center field there was the prospect many Mets fans had waited for, Jay Payton. Finally, in right field, we find the veteran mercenary Derek Bell.

While none of the three posted All-Star numbers, came close to breaking any records, or led the team in any major category, they helped round out the offense.
