I was thinking about taking this team as early as Round 2.
1969 Mets
After losing out on the 2014 Angels, my backup choice was between '69 Mets and '75 Mets. Besides needing about 400 innings of decent pitching, I also needed a catcher and '75 Grote was better than '69 Grote. '69 Cleon Jones is much better than '75 Rusty Staub but I needed another lefty bat as I'm too right-handed. And of course, the '75 pitchers have lower HR rates than the '69 pitchers. It was close.
Nice pick
