Share your memories of Greg McMichael HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY: murphy His fastball is a change-up. Throws a change-up off of a change-up. Makes guys look stupid when he's throwing well. Gives up mammoth home runs when he's not right. Just ask the Braves...he was a major contributor to their '96 World Series collapse. Mr. Sparkle December 13, 2000 He's on the cover of the 97(I think) yearbook as a Brave giving up Todd Hundley's 41st home run. This seemed to be foreshadowing considering Gerg's time with the Mets. He was not a very pitcher. I was elated when they traded the guy and then really depressed when they traded back for him and gave up a useful Brian Bohanon. Hopefully we've seen the last of him. Jim Alderson April 9, 2001 I thought Greg should have gotten more credit as a Met. I remember him coming in so many times with the bases loaded and getting out of the jam by striking someone out. I didn't like trading him OR Bohanon. What did we get back anyway? Clontz? Big E January 1, 2003 I couldn't believe the Mets actually had Greg McMuffin traded to the Dodgers and brought him right back. A refugee from the Braves' "great relievers, crappy bullpen" years of the mid-90s. Gregory Gewirtz January 25, 2003 McMichael was our best set-up man throughout most of his Mets tenure, for good or bad. He seemed to generally come in in the middle of an inning to bail out someone like Rojas or Cook, leave the inherited runners on base, then give up his own runs in the next inning. It was strange how the Mets pen fell apart after we dealt him in the Nomo deal, and I was as stunned as anyone to listen to the Mets broadcast two or so weeks later as the announcers told us McMichael was coming back in exchange for Bohanon. Also, collosal mistake on the Mets part protecting McMichael and his salary on the Mets protected list for the D-Backs/D-Rays expansion draft, in place of a guy like Lidle. No salaried middle reliever was taken during the entire draft (except maybe Chuck McElroy, towards the end) unless you believe that was because they were all protected. Lidle got hurt, and never played for the D-Backs, but the Mets had no way of knowing Lidle would miss so much time with injuries. Jonathan Stern February 24, 2006 Successful during his years with the Braves, contributing to their only World Championship during their endless run of division titles. With us, he was usually brutal. And we kept bringing him back to Shea. Alex June 14, 2024 As I recall, my dad liked Greg McMichael back in the day. My personal recollection of him is limited, however. I got into the Mets in 1999, but I only sort of remember seeing him in games on TV toward the end of his tenure. In my mind's eye, I mostly see him as a Brave, because the baseball cards I had/have of him mostly feature him in a Braves uniform. He certainly was one of those unsung solid relievers from an underwhelming era in Mets history—in 1997, he had a 2.98 ERA in 73 relief appearances. Sure, he also lost 10 games, but that ERA definitely was pretty. It's crazy how many trades the Mets involved him in. Check it out: November 25, 1996: Traded by the Atlanta Braves to the New York Mets for a player to be named later and Paul Byrd. The New York Mets sent Andy Zwirchitz (minors) (May 25, 1997) to the Atlanta Braves to complete the trade. June 4, 1998: Traded by the New York Mets with Dave Mlicki to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Brad Clontz and Hideo Nomo. July 10, 1998: Traded by the Los Angeles Dodgers with cash to the New York Mets for Brian Bohanon. July 31, 1999: Traded by the New York Mets with Jason Isringhausen to the Oakland Athletics for Billy Taylor. (source: Baseball Reference) And, incredibly, none of those trades really helped the Mets in any major, long-term way. You'd think by chance at least one would have.
