In Memoriam: St. Lucie Mets
High A- New York Mets
High A Teams Remaining: 17
Mets Affiliates Remaining: 2/6
All Time Record: 4746-5428 (.466)
Best Season: 2034, 101-61, 11th place
Best Hitter: Luis Olivas (2052-2068)
Taken in 2052 as the #1 overall pick, Olivas spent his entire career in St. Lucie. His teams only finished with a winning record three times, but the second baseman still put together a solid career. He won a Silver Slugger in 2057 after posting 7.4 WAR with 34 home runs and a .412 OBP. He had 2371 hits in his career and 393 home runs. He retired in 2068 as the team's leader in virtually every offensive category.
Best Pitcher: Steve Murray (2058-2065)
Murray is one of the league's all time greats. He struck out 300 batters four times, including a career best 335 in 2065. He had 3338 strikeouts in his career with a 3.15 ERA. He signed a huge deal with the Phillies in 2066 and won the Cy Young 2 years later, winning 21 games with a 2.24 ERA and 9.4 WAR. Murray was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2080 wearing a St. Lucie Mets cap.
Notes:
Burlington Bees 2B Sergio Isern led the league with a .380 batting average and 66 stolen bases.
Black Bears 1B Arturo Ledesma led the league with 53 home runs and a 1.085 OPS.
Trenton RF Jonathan Chapman led the league with 9.1 WAR.
Williamsport 1B Ignacio Castillo hit .189 with 45 home runs and 256 strikeouts.
Lehigh Valley SP Jim Warren led the league with a 2.26 ERA.
White Sox SP Jon Coronado won his third Cy Young after leading the league with 333 strikeouts, 2.19 FIP, and 9.2 WAR.
Tigers SP Curt Murphy posted a disappointing 4.30 ERA in his age 37 season. He still struck out 210 batters to move up to 10th all time with 4077. Barring injuries, he could easily move into the top 6 next year and potentially top 3 by the end of his career.
The Yankees hit 321 home runs as a team. They had 10 players hit at least 20.
The Oakland Athletics were the worst MLB team, going 78-84 and finishing in 76th place. It was the best worst performance by a Major League team in quite some time.
