Tyler Yates
Tyler Kali Yates
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 220 lbs.
Born: August 7, 1977 in Lihue, HI
Drafted: 23rd round 1998 by the Oakland Athletics
Acquired: traded from the Athletics with Mark Guthrie for David Justice,
December 2001
Departed: as a free agent, December 2005
Was obtained from the Athletics
organization in the trade that sent David Justice to Oakland, and quickly got
his first call to the big leagues to replace Satoru Komiyama, who had shut his
finger in his garage door and had to be put on the disabled list. Tyler got
sent back down to Norfolk before he had thrown a pitch with the Mets, however,
and then he spent most of the rest of his season on the disabled list.
The next season he was due for a September callup, and denied himself his
big-league debut when he injured his hand at the end of the minor-league
season. In 2004, though, he was the Mets' most dominant starter in Spring
Training, and finally won his chance with the big club. His card from the 2002
Upper Deck Honor Roll set is shown here. A few more cards are pictured 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.
