New York Mets: All-time worst lineup in franchise history

4: First Base- Greg Goossen

Greg Goossen started his career with the Mets in 1965 as a catcher. By the time he left, he played some games as a catcher and a good chunk as their first baseman.

He spent four seasons with the team, leaving for the Seattle Pilots right before the Mets championship season. In his rookie year, Goosen hit .290 with a .700 OPS.

Goosen looked promising over his first 31 at-bats, but once his sophomore season began, things went downhill quickly. In his second season, he hit just .188.

In his entire Mets career, over the course of .238 at-bats, Goosen hit .202. He did not hit a single home run during his final two seasons.

Goosen looked promising over his first 31 at-bats, but once his sophomore season began, things went downhill quickly. In his second season, he hit just .188.

His career did not change until after he left the Mets as he hit .309 with ten home runs in 1969, his first season with Seattle.

5: Third Base- Don Zimmer

Don Zimmer spent eight seasons with the Dodgers and Cubs before joining the Mets as one of their original players in 1962. In 1961, with the Cubs, Zimmer was an all-star, and in the late 50’s he was a part of two Dodgers championship teams.

However,  in 1962 he had one of his worst seasons ever. He only played in 14 games for the Mets before he was traded to the Reds. During his time with the Mets, his batting average was .077. He had just four hits with the team.

He also drove in just one run and was caught stealing in his only attempt. During his time with the Mets in 1962, his OPS+ was -39. That is incredibly bad considering that his OPS+ in 1963 was 101.
