Taijuan Walker

Taijuan Emmanuel Walker
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 235 lbs.
Born: August 13, 1992 in Shreveport, LA
Drafted: 1st round 2010 by the Seattle Mariners
Acquired: as a free agent, February 2021
Departed: as a free agent, November 2022

 

Seemingly the final piece to the puzzle, Taijuan signed with the Mets just after Training Camp opened up in Spring 2021.  A product of the fragile century of the 2000s, his arm was practically taken fresh out of the bubble wrap in order for him to pitch for the New Yorkers, having only accumulated 580ish innings in his entire eight-year career as a starting pitcher to that date.  He’s shown here on 2020 Topps, and on a few 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.
