Under Appreciated New York Mets: Damion Easley

Error 0:

Another example of a well-traveled New York Met is utility infielder Damion Easley. In the 15 years before his stop with the Mets, he played with five different teams and even had an All-Star selection in 1998.

Once a starter with the Detroit Tigers, he became a reserve over the few seasons before joining the Mets. He signed with the Mets during the 2006 offseason after only hitting .233 with the Diamondbacks in the previous season.

Easley spent all of April on the bench, only receiving 25 plate appearances. Once May rolled around, he became the starting second baseman for the following two months.
