What a difference 162 games make. Today, the Mets play their last game of the season so I though it be fun to compare the opening day position players vs the last game of the season position players. There are only three opening day starters playing in the same position as they did on opening day. Furthermore, Nelson Figueroa was not even on the opening day 25 man roster, and Santana’s season ended over a month ago.
