A Spring Training reclamation project became an early-season injury replacement for the Mets in 2006. With apologies to Mr. Lima (who by all accounts was a wonderful teammate), it's hard to imagine how he could have pitched more poorly for the Mets. He also has hosted the dubious honor of having the worst qualifying ERA in history in both the National League (2000) and the American League (2005)!  I believe that record has since been broken.  Jose is shown here on his 1999 Stadium Club card—a year when he won 21 games for the Astros. More cards below.

This is a list of the cards of this player that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity prior to my divestiture.  The cards listed in white text are the ones that still remained until that final deal.  Items listed in green I kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and den.  At the bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and maybe in the autographs and game-used areas.  If an orange card is struck through, it has also departed the collection.  I’m still accepting donations, should you feel so moved.  Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
